One of the ways I would hope to never die is to have my mouth duct taped while my nose is stuffed up due to a cold. I can imagine that would be an agonizing slow death.

Ditto this.

Police Say Victim of Fatal Salisbury Shooting Was Murder Suspect
01/29/2009 1:04 PM ET; Updated 01/30/2009 7:26 AM ET

SALISBURY, Md.- Salisbury police say a man whose body was found lying near a city intersection Wednesday night died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. According to police, 31-year-old Lamont Cornelius Mitchell of Salisbury was also suspect in a Wicomico County homicide that occurred earlier this month, according to police.

Police say investigators were planning on arresting Mitchell on Thursday night but it was too late. At around 7:30 p.m. a passerby called police after discovering Mitchell's body in a field next to a sidewalk on the 500 block of Delaware Avenue. Mitchell's body was taken to the State Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy which concluded that his death was self-inflicted.

According to police, Mitchell was one of the suspects under investigation for the Friday, Jan. 16 homicide of 27-year-old Brookes E. Harmon of Salisbury. Police say on the evening of the murder, three masked men barged into the rear door of Harmon's Dennis Street home, beat him up and bound him with duct tape. A short time after the suspects left the home, Harmon was found unresponsive and not breathing. He was taken to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

According to police, Mitchell- who was also known by the nickname of "Mickey"- was a suspect in Harmon's murder, although he had not yet been formally charged with the crime.

Maryland State Police investigators were planning on interviewing Mitchell on Wednesday night, but learned that Mitchell had killed himself.

According to Salisbury Police Capt. Mark Tyler, interviews with family members indicated that Mitchell had notified a relative in advance that he was planning on killing himself.

However, another suspect in Harmon's murder was picked up for questioning Wednesday night and arrested early Thursday morning. Twenty-eight-year-old Carlos L. Mills of Salisbury is charged with first- and second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit both first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and reckless endangerment. He is currently being held in the Wicomico County Detention Center.

The investigation into the Harmon's murder is continuing. Police say additional arrests are expected. Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation at (410) 548-4898 or Crime Solvers of Wicomico County at (410) 548-1776. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is available for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Callers may remain anonymous.

Hmm, at least he had a good idea. Saved taxpayers a ton.

We should give every criminal a gun a bullet and some time alone to think about things just in case they want to go this route.

In college we taped a kid to the underside of a large table, then set it back upright in the common area. People came in drunk and he'd start talking from under the table, they'd peer under and freak out

State police say a Salisbury man died after he was bound with duct tape during a home invasion.

State police say Brookes Harmon, 27, was bound after three masked men forced their way into his home just before midnight Friday and ordered everyone else into a backroom.

State police say Harmon was found unresponsive after the men left about 20 minutes and he was later pronounced dead at Peninsula Regional Medical Center.

State police said his body was taken to Baltimore for an autopsy.

Granted robbers have used duct tape to tie people up for a while, but don't know if people have died from it before

Seems like he had a heart attack unless they taped up his mouth and nose.

BTW: The third 'paragraph' makes little sense.

If he was overweight he could have suffocated.

did you get duct taped during a home invasion?

Know what I've never understood? The use of duct tape in movies and TV to cover people's mouths. A friend and I were watching some 24 and during a lot of the first season, Kim Bauer is tied up and has duct tape over her mouth. My friend wanted to see if it worked so he got out a roll and taped it over his mouth. He immediately was able to remove it and talk normally without using his hands by simply opening his mouth. He even tried wrapping the tape all the way around his head but it made no difference.

Maybe they use some sort of special extra-sticky duct tape for that, because the only other way I could see that working is if they wrapped it around your head many times and/or stuffed a sock or something else in your mouth as well.

What does his weight have to do with that? Thin people need oxygen too.
