Hollywood publicist Michael Sands may have been described as “the brains behind Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed List”, but he will be posthumously know as "the throat behind choking to death on a beef sample at a Gelson’s".
According to his son, Sands had narrow airways caused by "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", which made him more prone to choking. Apparently, the disease made him unable to chew meat properly before trying to swallow. From my research, he died as colorfully as he lived. He claimed to be an undercover CIA operative, though I find it unlikely he helped capture Abu Abbas, the terrorist behind the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in 1985. He also sold designer cheesecakes and appeared partially nude in a picture in People magazine. And of course, mocking the low-hanging fruit that is celebrity fashion.
Yeah, being in mouth-cramming meat-lust is an appropriate exit when that's your life.
