Death of singer, 24, tied to stage stunt

As part of the act, Mallary had coiled the microphone wire around his neck.

Behind him, his bandmates blasted through a frenetic set. Before him, the college crowd roared. Dominic Mallary, lead singer of an emerging hard-core rock band that had just landed a recording contract, was exactly where he wanted to be.

Near the end of the show at Boston University on Thursday night, the 24-year-old Worcester resident performed his signature move - howling into his microphone as he coiled the wire tighter and tighter around his neck.

But this time, the edgy flourish proved deadly. The pressure caused a clot in his jugular vein, later cutting off the flow of oxygen to his brain

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

Actually it was educational. I for one did NOT realize that there was a faint possibility of causing a blood clot in the jugular or the carotid arteries from tight constriction. This explains why criminals would sometimes die mysteriously after being held in a choke hold by police, something not done these days.

Be careful out there people on your next Dominatrix visit!
