SHALER, Pa. -- William “Little Bill” Hart, 18, an electronics wizard known for his love for computers was found dead in his bedroom Tuesday.

The unexpected and unusual circumstances of his death have devastated everyone who knew and loved him.

Hart fell asleep at his computer while listening to music as the cord from his headphones slowly cut off his oxygen supply causing asphyxiation.

This teen was an honors student ready to start his senior year with a GPA above 3.9, was active in the robotics club and was known for his beautiful computerized holiday light displays.

Family members said he would spend months decorating his grandparent’s home on Saxonburg Boulevard for Christmas. Thousands of people would enjoy his display on their way to the Hartwood Acres Festival of Lights.

Story was updated to say he died of self asphyxiation "due to auto-erotica which is described as intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal."

Still a sad way to die but not because he accidently fell asleep while listening to music with headphones on.

See, that makes sense. That's actually not that uncommon of a way to die. But still very unfortunate.

So he was rubbing one out, while choking himself with the cord to his headphones that he was listening to at the same time?

Anyone wanna bet he was listening to INXS?
