Of All The Ways To Die: Being A Gordon Ramsay Look-A-Like And Eaten By Badgers
This is just plain insane.
Gawker pointed us to a story in the U.K. tabloid Sunday Sport about Percy Foster, a 35-year-old dwarf porn star “whose career was just beginning to catch fire. It was all because an observant production assistant on the set of Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It’s Up Your Arse We Go had noticed how much Foster looked like celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.”
Okay… it’s a claim to fame but it appears that tragedy has fallen on him: The corpse of the 3′ 6″ performer has been discovered in a badger’s den, partially eaten.
The tragic story goes on to say:
According to Sunday Sport’s follow-up account, Foster was found “deep in an underground chamber by Ministry of Agriculture experts ahead of a planned badger-gassing programme near Tregaron, west Wales.” They write that “expert CSI teams had to use fingertip technology to remove his body from the six-foot-deep burrow.” (I have no idea what fingertip technology is, but I imagine it’s akin to one of those claw cranes you find in arcades and drugstores.) Officials have not yet ruled out suicide, and adult film producer Dexter Yamunkeh’s comments — in which he intimates that Foster may have cracked under the pressures of being the world’s leading Gordon Ramsay-lookalike-sex-dwarf — certainly don’t invalidate the possibility
So a tragic, tragic end to the story of a possible porn superstar look-a-like to Gordon Ramsay. Maybe Ramsay could have hired him to follow him around like Mini Me.
