== Musician ==
== What Kind of Suicide is That? ==


Is it okay if I mention musician on his page? It mentions him being involved in music quite a bit.
Am I the only one who finds it odd that a person would commit suicide by cutting his own throat?
:: no, but see the IMDB thread, where the details of the method are discussed, as well as his early childhood including child abuse, that led to depression and other issues that help explain the "why".

== High school ==
:to what end such speculation? unless you have some facts, why speculate in this regard? perhaps he had marital problems. perhaps he was recently diagnosed with cancer and chose to leave of his own volition. perhaps he was suffering some form of madness. perhaps many, many things. the reason he chose to kill himself by slitting his throat, and the reason he chose to kill himself at all, may be things we will never know. and really - are they any of our business?

That stuff about "a field near his home" is wrong; according to his sister, it was his own yard.

---Warning - not for the fainthearted---

It is definatley possible to commit suicide by cutting your own throat.( there were several cases I read about, in Victorian England ages, before I heard about Charlie Rocket)

My info came from 2 sources ( who I will not disclose). Charlie used 2 box cutters ( stanley knives) 1 for each side of his throat. He got these from his toolbox which was kept in the main barn on his land. He walked out & went into a lush area & well you can figure out the rest.

I have also read on the internet that everything was found with him & that's why it was ruled a suicide quickly.

This shows his desperation. He was pushed over the edge. He was due to have gone to film the Saturday Night Live 80's documentary a few hours after his body was found.
Coincidence - no way man...

Before i got all my info i had so many doubts as to his suicide but when i found out some things the evidence told me I was wrong & that it was suicide.yasmin

::For what it's worth, I had a patient once who was found naked and wandering, covered in blood, in the woods in winter after he had cut his own throat. He didn't cut deep enough to severe any major arteries or veins, though, and recovered. Although I see some blogs that claim Rocket had an abusive childhood and subsequent depression, I see no reliable sources who corroborate that. If he did have a history of depression (I just don't know if that's true or not), it's useless to ask why he killed himself, because the answer would be....''depression''.

== Name ==

Does anyone know if there was a particular reason he chose the stage name "Rocket"? Just curious...[[User:Tbkflav|Tbkflav]] 10:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

In People in 1981, he was quoted as saying "Someone gave me the name during the space-age days of the '60s, and it stuck"

== More sources. ==

* Rocket performed at least one marriage, that of [[Joe Pantoliano]]. This information from ''TV Guide'' states he was an ordained minister (Pantoliano's IMDB article says the same thing): http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/joe-pantoliano-157573/bio/

* Rocket played with [[Debbie Harry]] and [[Chris Stein]], according to ''Variety'': http://variety.com/2005/scene/people-news/charles-rocket-1117931030/

* This blog by [[Julia Sweeney]] has some nice remembrances of Rocket. I know that blogs aren't considered reliable unless the person is an expert in their field, but her first-hand knowledge of her relationship with Rocket and ''SNL'' seems to me to suffice: http://juliasweeney.blogspot.com/2005/10/charlie-rocket-is-dead-oh-i-am-so-sad.html
