I thought he was already "passed away".

Australia had it's on Evel Knievel in the 80's But this young guy committed suicide from all the pressure (apparently) of stardom .. his name escapes me, I'm sure someone here will know who I'm talking about.

Buggins, Dale - this accomplished Australian jumper took his own life on September 18th 1981 in Melbourne, Australia by shooting himself in the chest with a .22 rifle that he went and bought the day before. Dale was just back from touring the U.S. and was in Melbourne for the Royal Melbourne show.


My mother was taking us to see him preform at the showgrounds, we never got the chance.
