David Hans Schmidt Dead: Tom Cruise’s, Scientology’s Secrets Safe
The man who brought us the Screech (Dustin Diamond), Tonya Harding, and Colin Farrel sex tapes and nude photos of Paula Jones and Jamie Foxx, celebrity scandal purveyor David Hans Schmidt is dead. Most recently, he was in the news after pleading guilty to extort $1 million from Tom Cruise. Apparently had stolen wedding photos of a sensitive nature. According to the National Ledger, he hung himself:
The 47-year-old Schmidt was found in a shower stall at a North 21st street condominium in Phoenix, AZ. “He hung himself, and the shower stall was so small, he had to squat to get the job done.”

Some random facts from nndb:
Born: 27-May-1960
Birthplace: Rochester, MN
Military service: US Army (1978-81)High School: Dover-Eyota High School, Eyota, MN (1978)
University: Rochester Community College, Rochester, MN
University: BA English, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN (1985)
University: Bowling Green State UniversityCharges: Harassment, Violating Probation
It’s possible that he found evidence that Tom Cruise is Gay, in which case the Church of Scientology and Cruise himself would certainly be interested in seeing him never see the light of day again. Who killed David Hans Schmidt? We’ll never know, but a lot of people wanted him dead.

Good riddence, I say. The man was a douche bag and a bastard. He should have had the balls to actually face the court and do his sentence. But, you see, the man wasn’t “man” enough to face the music.
The world is a brighter place, now he is gone.
