Ex-SNL comedian and actor Charles Rocket was found dead in a field near his home in Canterbury on October 7, the victim of an apparent suicide. "An investigation determined there was no criminal aspect to this case," State Police Sgt. J. Paul Vance said on Monday.
Rocket, a Saturday Night Live cast member from 1980-81, was infamous for being the only SNL cast memeber to utter a profanity on the air. His action resulted in his immediate firing.
As Wikipedia recounts:
An episode hosted by Dallas star Charlene Tilton featured an ongoing joke in which different cast members would vow revenge on him for some reason, in a parody of the famed "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of Dallas. Rocket was then shot in the chest by a sniper in the final sketch. At the end of the show, a wheelchair-bound Charles audibly mumbled that he'd like to know "who the fuck did it," followed by the cast and audience reacting with shock and embarrassed laughter. The incident seemed to encapsulate all that was wrong with Saturday Night Live at the time, and both Rocket and Doumanian were soon fired. A video of the infamous SNL airing can be found here.
