From the Internet, article 2255 from the newsnet group clari.living.books, dated 6. November 1995: "Paris (AP)--Prominent French philosopher, writer and university professor Gilles Deleuze committed suicide by leaping from the window of his Paris apartment, his family said Sunday.

¶ Deleuze, whom French philosopher Michel Foucault once called 'the only philosophical mind in France,' died Saturday. He was 70.

¶ The author of one of the world's best selling philosophy books, 'The Anti-Oedipus,'[sic] had suffered for years from a serious respiratory illness and recently underwent a tracheotomy." One the one hand, then, this essay, then, is clearly an homage to Deleuze. But at the same time, it is an attempt to understand Deleuze's actions in light of his statements in "BwO." Can his suicide in anyway be construed as an attempt to create a BwO, or was it simply the final act of a man in great pain, of a man all too present in his body and at the mercy of his organs? Had the event occurred three weeks later, i.e. on 28. November (the original date of this essay), the connection would have been inescapable.
