Police were dispatched to an apartment complex at the request of the deceased’s room-mate, who advised them that he had discovered his roommate on his bed dead, inside his locked bedroom.

The deceased was lying unclothed in his bed, with a white plastic “kitchen-type” trash bag over his head. A portable DVD player was on a nightstand next to the bed with the menu screen of a gay pornographic movie playing. A bottle of Astroglide lubricant and a pink rubber/latex sexual aid were also located on the nightstand next to the bed. Lying on top of the bed, near the subject’s feet, was a white plastic whipped topping dispenser. This dispenser utilizes nitrous oxide canisters as a propellant to dispense the topping.

Near the subject’s left leg were two boxes of EZ Whip nitrous oxide canisters. One of the boxes was opened and contained three unused canisters. The other box was still sealed and complete, containing a total of 24 canisters. Discovered scattered on the floor around the bed were 20 used nitrous oxide canisters. These used canisters, along with the one still contained in the dispenser and the 3 unused canisters still in the box, accounted for a complete box of 24 nitrous oxide canisters.


Investigators learned from the deceased’s’ roommate that the victim regularly inhaled cartridges of nitrous oxide, referred to as “Whippits,” by inserting the cartridges into a dispenser one after another and throwing them on the floor until he became high. He would reach a high about 15 min after inhaling half a box and then tilt his head back and start breathing heavily and be out of it for about 20s.

He would inhale a minimum of two boxes of Whippit on each occasion and would then pass out for about an hour and a half, with the whipped cream canister in his hand or next to his body. The deceased usually did this alone while watching pornography. The case was originally ruled a suicide by an inexperienced pathologist, who told the investigators, “I’ve never heard of them doing it that way ” After educating the pathologist, he ultimately ruled that the death was accidental.


The bag was semitransparent, and you could see that the victim was wearing his glasses under the bag. A portion of the plastic trash bag had been inhaled into the victim’s mouth.

Note for scene investigators - A plastic bag placed over the head leads to suffocation by mechanical occlusion of the external airways; the plastic bag will obstruct the passage of air through the nose and mouth. In a scene of suffocation by plastic bag, particular care should be taken to describe and document the type of plastic bag; the position of the bag in relation to the head, mouth, and nose; and if the plastic bag is secured or not at the neck. If a ligature is present to enclose the bag, the type of ligature, with its loops and knots, should be described. Knots on the plastic bags should be documented as well.

If the victim is obviously dead, the plastic bag should not be removed from the head before proper photographic documentation. It is important to be aware that without proper scene information, the diagnosis of suffocation by smothering with a plastic bag over the head is most likely to be missed by the pathologist.


a) Nitrous oxide canisters. Victim’s underwear is tossed onto the floor along with various empty nitrous oxide canisters, indicating heavy usage. b) Lying on top of the bed, near the subject’s feet, was a white plastic whipped topping dispenser.

Just in case you all were wondering, nitrous oxide is the agent that relaxes the smooth muscle in the penis to give you an erection. As in, your body makes it for that purpose. Looks like the little blue pills weren't enough for this guy anymore.

He obviously expended a lot of time, money, and effort gathering supplies for his masturbatory practices, yet he couldn't be bothered to buy a proper TV and DVD player?

With that amount of nitrous oxide he was consuming, he was gonna die sooner or later, but he ended up dying in the most embarrassing way possible...

Don't forget though how this also gave him a "high" that knocked him out of it for 20 minutes; sounds like this "Whippit" is a 2 in 1 investment!!

These were around in the 80s and possibly the late 70s. I would have expected more from people nowadays.

I like the Astroglide and sexual device details. Wish they included a picture, did he have a butt plug or Porta-Pussy? Perhaps a vibrating Porta-Rectum (I bet they exist)?
