There is a school of thought that JEH was not joking but committed a staged suicide to make himself look (relatively) good.
He wanted the publicity of this but did not want to take pills, shoot himself alone with a real gun, etc.
Remember in those days we were not as tolerant of closeted homosexuality as we are today. That was 30 years ago and, even in Hollywood, gays were blacklisted, persecuted etc. It took a huge psych toll on JEH, one hat he obviously could not handle.
RIP JEH if only you could have held out a bit longer. You would have been one of the great ones. -

Wow. Come up with that one all by yourself, did you?
I bet it looked REALLY pretty when it was all written out in purple crayon on wide ruled notebook paper. As I know they don't allow sharp objects in the mental institution, too dangerous for you as well as the other patients in residence.
I could always sell you some swampland, but it's unethical to take advantage of the mentally insane.
Tell you what you do: go put on your Spiderman pajamas, grab your dolly and crawl under the covers. See that magic box next to you? The one plugged into the wall? There should be two buttons on it, one that resembles a TV, the other resembles a nurse. Press the nurse button. When she arrives, tell her the nice lady online says your lithium drip needs a bolus (that means it needs boosting, she'll understand medical terminology). Ask her to add in some Haldol, some Halcion, and, well, let's put in some Ambien for good measure. That ought to help.
As you're drifting off to Gumbyland, repeat this mantra over and over in your head: "Must not get online while in the middle of a drug induced psychosis. Must not get online while in the middle of a drug induced psychosis."
Seriously? Lie down before you hurt yourself. I'd tell you to answer the clue phone b68but you're so far off base it wouldn't help. Throw your National Enquirer away. You're wasting everyone's time.

SueSmith, I was just on the Lee Horsley boards and you said the exact same thing, that you knew a girl who blew him. I'd like to meet this girl you knew. Then again that's 30 years ago, and maybe her 'skills' have waned in old age.

Wow bit of a over reaction to someone's thoughts on the subject, did you really feel the need to vent so viciously. There was nothing offensive said if you don't like what you read say so in a constructive way. Making fun of the mentally disabled is not a joke it's more common than ever , pray it never happens to you or a loved one.

"I knew a girl who blew him" is officially my new favorite piece of corroborating evidence.
Mine as well. I may have to use it in the future just for kicks. Well that's what so and so says and she would know, she did blow him after all

Yes, I did have to vent that way, and I'll tell you why: when someone comes on a public forum and states that she knew someone who "blew" him, they're just looking for attention, and by definition they're just a troll. Therefore she doesn't deserve the respect a normal person would, had they wanted to have the same discussion. And yes, it was offensive, she acts like she knew Jon-Erik, and is, in fact, an expert on what he felt/did/who he was. She's not.
But let's address her comments, while we're at it. Since that's exactly what she wants us to do. First of all, who tells people that a friend "blew" this celebrity, or that one? Who is she, Linda Tripp? Seriously? If she was my friend and had told my secrets that way, the friendship would be over. What if someone came up to you in a public place, pretending to know what someone was like because a friend blew him? Chances are good you'd walk 2000away from the convo. Tackier than heck if you ask me. Holy moses. Oh wait. I get it, she's friends with EG Daily. No wonder she claims she blew Matt Houston too. Her reputation precedes her. Yup. That's about par for that piece of crap, but I digress.
Sue says her girlfriend blew him, yet says he was gay. Which is it? I could tell you the answer, but people only want to believe what they want to believe. I'm not going to fight his sexuality online, because frankly, it was no one's business but his and whoever he chose to sleep with, and that includes BJs. Not my business, certainly not Sue's, or anyone else on the Internet.
Jon-Erik was a lot of things in life, but one thing he was NOT was suicidal. In doing my website, I was in contact with a lot of people who knew him personally. From friends, to family, to co-workers, even the kids he grew up with, who he stayed friends with for a lifetime. Every single one of them have said UNANIMOUSLY that he was NOT depressed. And definitely NOT suicidal. Not even close. Now we all know depression doesn't just happen overnight. Especially not the type that would cause someone to take their own lives. Everyone who TRULY knew him said there was no way he was depressed. He was happy. Was he disappointed and down that Voyagers! was cancelled and Cover Up wasn't going the way he'd hoped? Sure. Doesn't make him suicidal. I've been upset at my job before, I've worked at some hellish places in my life, never made me want to take my own life. Him either. In fact, he was the friend people could rely on in times of trouble, he was a great friend, solid, one you could tell your deepest secrets to and know he'd be there to stand behind you, regardless. And he was the one that kept people smiling. But he himself said in interview that he loved his life. Loved what he was doing. So to say he was "suicidal" is just being ignorant. She wasn't there, she wouldn't know. In a case like that I tend to trust the people who knew him best, and they vouch for him 100%.
Let's add in the fact that he LOVED people. Even those that interviewed him said that he would start off by asking how THEY were. He was genuinely interested in them and their lives. If he was suicidal, and wanted to "off" himself, he certainly wouldn't have used a gun and shot himself around people that would hear it, see it, have to deal with it and live with the trauma of what happened. Publicity wasn't important enough to him to cause someone else that level of pain and grief. And, too, his mother was often on-set, running errands and such, he adored his mother and never would've done something like that in a place she often frequented. And seriously, who kills themselves with a prop gun? Um, duh.
But let's play devil's advocate here. Let's pretend he was suicidal. This gal claims her friend "blew" Jon-Erik. That doesn't sound like a relationship to me, that sounds like a quick, one-night stand. Or, rather, a fast "job," in something like a broom closet. So, if he was suicidal, do you think he'd confide that in some loose chick that he knew for maybe 10 minutes in a closet? Hardly.
If someone wants to legitimately discuss who Jon-Erik was, I'm all ears. That's what I'm here for, I talk to people all the time, from all walks of life, and I'm always answering questions about him. If I don't know the answer, I usually know how to get it. But that's a legitimate discussion. Not some chick posting some salacious rumor just to get attention on a public forum. When you come out posting crap like that, you get what you deserve.
peterdamonthomas, you are right, I shouldn't make fun of the mentally disabled. To compare this troll with the mentally challenged is an insult to them. She needs to go back to the rock she crawled out of, and quit trying to look like an "expert" on someone she has absolutely no knowledge of. That's exactly where vermin like her belong, under a rock.

Folks, seriously, report and block Sue Smith. She's running around all over IMDB claiming her friend blew every guy on here. That's one busy friend. Don't feed the trolls. Please.

— 5 years ago(August 08, 2020 03:15 PM)""Here is My Theory on Whether Jon Eric Hexum Commited Suiside or Not?
Based on all of the evidence that I have read on the case, I don't believe that he did. I believe that at the time of his death there was something extremely fishy going on. The odd part about the whole situation is that by one account no one ever saw Hexum pull the trigger of the .44 magnum revolver which he supposedly killed himself with. The part that I find most conflicting and suspicious is that supposedly all of the crew members who where on the set when Jon Eric Hexum supposedly shot himself claimed that they never saw it happen.
But, yet by other accounts and research about Hexum's death, states that supposedly there where witnesses who not only saw Hexum supposedly put the .44 magnum to his right temple, reports said that a witness supposedly saw him smile and claimed that he made a statement as he pulled the trigger-very, very, suspicious. What I find most suspicious is the supposed weapon which was used to shoot Hexum with. The odd part surrounding the description of the weapon on Jon Eric Hexum's death certificate specifically stated that it was a .44 calbur magnum revolver which he was supposedly accidently shot with which caused the fatal wound that unfortunately killed him.
When, I closely examined the weapon which Hexum used in the last episode he ever made on the day of his fatal shoot, by reviewing Cover-Up Episode 8: "Golden Opportunity", I noticed that this same weapon Jon Eric was handling in the scene where he was sitting on the bed and for the next two scenes was not a Smith &Wesson .44 magnum revolver, but was in fact a Smith &Wesson .38 calibur special-bodyguard . There is a huge difference between a S&W .38 calibur special-bodyguard and an S&W .44 calibur magnum revolver. In no way can a S&W .44 magnum revolver be confused with an S&W .38 calibur special-bodyguard it just isn't possible to do so because of the vast differences in the weapons.
The S&W .44 magnum has a 2" to a 4'' barrel which is a heavier, sturdier gun with a reputation for having the ability to stop anything in it's tracks as well as a nasty recoil, which would blow anything that the S&W .44 round touched back about a minumum of six inches or more, including a blank round-especially if the .44 magnum is fired at point blank range. A round of the .44 magnum is longer and taller than a .38 calibur special-bodyguard and this round of the .44 magnum revolver usually has 1/3 more powder per load because of a taller, wider chamber than a .38 caliber special-bodyguard.
Because of the lenght of the barrel of the .44 magnum revolver, the powder load of a .44 round, the barrel of the .44 being sealed by being pressed up against the temple as in Jon Eric Hexum's case as well as the nasty recoil which the .44 magnum is famous for, eminating out of the barrel with no place to disperse but the temple of the forehead. The result of the bone being discharged into his skull would have been the size of a half dollar and not a quarter as his death report stated, if the weapon that killed him was in-fact a .44 magnum. Where as a .38 calibur special-bodyguard could very well disperse a quarter sized chunk of bone at point blank range if applied to the temple. While reviewing the last Cover-Up episode number 8 where Jon Eric was sitting on the bed and loading the .38 calibur special- bodyguard, I saw a man who knew how to handle guns even though he was exhausted filming it is my opinion that based on all of this evidence Jon-Eric Hexum would have never killed himself even in an exhausted state.
In my opinion, someone wanted the world and Jon-Eric Hexum's family and friends to believe that he foolishly brandished the weapon which he supposedly accidently killed himself with. This same someone whoever they are, I believe is behind the killing of Jon Eric Hexum and tried to cover it up on October 12, 1984 the day that Jon Eric Hexum was shot. I also believe that this same person was somehow linked to the show Cover-up which I believe wasn't doing financially well at the time. It is also my opinion that this same someone had alot to gain by taking out a big life insurance policy on Jon Eric Hexum. In my opinion, whoever it was that had taken out a big insurance policy on Jon Eric Hexum was using poor unsuspecting Hexum to recoup their losses.
It is also my opinion that the .38 calibur-"bodyguard" which Jon Eric Hexum used in the last episode of Cover Up that he ever shot: "Episode 8-Golden Opportunities" was replaced with a .44 magnum at the time of his death on set and the weapon used to kill Jon Eric Hexum with was never found. I also believe that it was the same someone who I believe to be behind Jon Eric's killing was the person who took the murder weapon which killed Jon Eric Hexum and disapeared with the weapon, leaving the world as well as Jon Eric Hexum's family and friends to believe that he commited suicide."".
