Michael Kelland John Hutchence (January 22, 1960 – November 22, 1997) was the original lead singer of the Australian rock band INXS.

SYDNEY, Australia - The death of Australian rock star Michael Hutchence in a Sydney hotel room in November was declared a suicide Friday.
Hutchence, 37, the lead singer of the rock group INXS, was found dead at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at Double Bay in east Sydney on Nov. 22, 1997.
He was in a "severe depressed state" due to his relationship with girlfriend Paula Yates, her custody dispute with her former husband Sir Bob Geldof, and the effects of substances he had ingested, New South Wales Coroner Derek Hand said Friday.
Hutchence hanged himself with his belt and the buckle broke away, leaving his naked body kneeling on the floor of the hotel room, Hand said.
The coroner said there was no evidence to substantiate the suggestion the singer died as a result of an act of auto-eroticism. He also said there was no other person involved in the death.
Hand said Hutchence had consumed vodka, beer and champagne the night before and blood analysis detected cocaine, the anti-depressant Prozac and other prescription drugs.
Hand said there would be no inquest into the death.
