Asphyxiation kills 1000 men a year?

[JackDrago]

I saw an outrageously inflated number for the number of AEA deaths on The Young Turks today and I'd like to know where the number comes from and if it's likely to be true. Here's the video: The Young Turks: Extreme Sex killing 1000 men a year

And here's their source: Shibari Bondage sex act ends in death

Their source dosn't cite any sources, does anyone here have any comment on where this number comes from?

They probably pulled that number out of their ass and are betting on no one bothering to call them out on the source. At 1K deaths a year from AEA, I would've expected a few of those death scene pics leaked to CDG for my jackoff material needs...

Oh yes, I know it.

I've googled and googled and still no reliable scientific source, just a bunch of people vectoring the same sourceless number everywhere.
