As Australian rock band INXS paid tribute to their former frontman Michael Hutchence on his 10th death anniversary, the late rocker’s brother Rhett Hutchence was trying to prove that his older sibling was actually the victim of a sex game, not suicide.

Michael was found dead on November 22, 1997, in a room of Sydney Ritz Carlton Sydney Hotel. The court ruled that the rocker, who was 37 at the time, had committed suicide.

Within three years his girlfriend, Paula Yates, had died from a drugs overdose, leaving their baby daughter Tiger Lily orphaned.

But ten years after his brother’s death, Rhett believes he is on the brink of proving his big brother was actually the prey of a sex game that went disastrously wrong.

In an exclusive interview, Rhett, pledged to turn over the court’s verdict, for he wants Tiger Lily to know the painful truth about her dad.

“I am sick of hearing Michael died from suicide. I hate that and that Tiger is going to think both her parents killed themselves. Paula’s death was an accident, she overdosed. Michael’s death was an accident too,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.

He stressed that he can present new evidence that Michael was deeply into autoerotic asphyxiation, the act of depriving oneself of oxygen to attain or enhance an orgasm during sex play.

“If I can collate the evidence I will put it forward. I know Michael had been seeing this American girl and he had been getting into autoerotic asphyxiation. Even though he was with Paula, he still had girls on the side,” Rhett said.
