A legendary Russian guitarist dies of an infection eating flesh / Boing Boing

Andrey Suchilin has long been considered one of the best Russian guitarists and the ancestor of rock and roll in his country. It is a reputation that has made its face and name famous to one degree or another in most of Eastern Europe. Like so many celebrities, Suchilin's notoriety makes it difficult for him to find a quiet place to relax at home. To have something resembling a vacation, he should leave the East for a more exotic location, such as Pittsburgh or Gran Canaria, an island off the coast of North West Africa. Last May, he opted for the latter.

After getting some sun, Suchilin jumped on a flight from Gran Canaria that would take him to Amsterdam where he would change plane and return home. There was just one problem: Suchilin had a smell that came from him that could drop a rhinoceros 50 meters away.

Other passengers sitting near him on his flight complained. As his bouquet began to clear his way into the recirculated air of the aircraft cabin, some passengers fainted. Others have vomited. The agitation caused by the stink of the guitarist was such that the cabin crew of the aircraft decided that for the comfort of all, it would be best to confine Suchilin in one of the bathrooms of the # 39; air. But, again, the air recycled, so no dice. Eventually, the captain of the plane made the decision to apply for emergency landing privileges in Portugal: this was the only way to remove such passengers from Suchilin. The early landing also allowed Suchilin to discover what was happening with his body.

In fact, an infection that he had contracted during his vacation had worsened significantly on Suchilin flight. It's here that things have taken a turn for the awful.

From RT.com:

One of the passengers, who later spoke to the Daily Mirror, said that the smell coming from the unfortunate passenger was "as if he had not been there". not washed for several weeks. "

The passenger identified himself on Facebook as a Russian art-rock guitarist, Andrey Suchilin, who had been on vacation in Gran Canaria.

"The tragic and comical aspect of this situation is that I caught a disease, why) makes a person very stinky.As a result, a group of passengers may require that the captain be removed from you the plane, "writes Suchilin.

The embarrassment quickly turned into a horror. What the Gran Canaria doctor diagnosed as "a simple beach infection", curable by antibiotics, turned out to be tissue necrosis

It's true: the infection caused the death of the flesh while he was still breathing. Through a misdiagnosis, the rot quickly passed through his body, causing the odor found in the aircraft and causing severe physical damage to Suchilin.

A day after being removed from the plane, Suchilin fell into a coma. In the last month, doctors fought to save the lives of musicians. On June 25, the heart, lungs and kidneys of Suchilin stop, killing him at the age of 59
