We Always Knew This Could Be Deadly

According to police reports, Denver St. Clair, 58, invited his stepson, Brad Davis, 33, to his McCloud, Okla., home for drinks. The men began arguing and, according to Davis, St. Clair “came at him,” leading to a fight. Davis allegedly hit St. Clair on the head, knocking him unconscious. Davis then allegedly gave St. Clair what he called an “atomic wedgie” — pulling his underwear up over his head — and leaving him there. Police found St. Clair that way, and he was dead. “I’d never seen this before,” said Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth. “The waistband of his underwear was around his neck.” The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head, and asphyxiation from the wedgie. Davis has been charged with murder. (MS/Oklahoma City Oklahoman) ...It’s all fun and games until your airway is cut off.
