Recording artist Wyclef Jean, from the group 'The Fugees,' was found naked on the floor of his recording studio, dead from asphyxiation.
Paramedics who arrived on the scene pronouned Jean D.O.A. and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downtown Manhattan. Paramedics attempted, but were unable to remove the huge rubber penis that was lodged in his throat.
'Pras,' another member of the Fugees, was notified of Jean's death, several hours after he was notified of Hill's murder. " "I can't believe this his happening," Pras says, "first my girl Lauryn gets killed unnecessarily, and now my boy Wyclef is found dead in the studio. People see others rise, and then they wanna take that from them. This needs to stop."
On the other hand, after an initial investigation, police believe the dildo injury in question was likely self-inflicted.
Good Samaritan Hospital found it neceseary to call upon the services of NASA and an experimental vacuum being used in the Space Shuttle program, to remove the phallus in question.
The coroner's final report is expected within 24 hours.
