Bandytown, W.Va — Fans mourn iconic West Virginia wild-man Jesco White, who died at his Boone County home after inhaling twin doses of lighter fluid and gas fumes Saturday.
Fans received a rude awakening who believed White finally got clean following the successes of Jescofest, a festival held in his honor, and the most recent Johnny Knoxville documentary “The Wild and Wonderful Whites.”
“I was on a super double high.”
Documentary footage portrayed a clean and sober man, skirting only the throes of a very real cocaine addiction. No footage of inhalant abuse was released, so the news caught many off guard.
“I thought he was just on the cocaine,” said Bandytown resident Deanna Warrick, 33.
Authorities said they found White dead in the “Elvis room” – a wall-to-wall shrine of Elvis memorabilia erected by White as a monument to his bottomless rage.
For years, friends knew White suffered depression in the wake of the death of his wife, Norma Jean, but said they did not intervene because they did not know he was huffing paint thinner and gasoline, and feared physical assault.
“We didn’t want no trouble,” said Boyd Denton, 56, “we just wanted to believe Jesco was okay. But he wasn’t. He never was.”
A drug saturated private ceremony is being planned by the White family.

Go to Jesco’s Facebook! He’s “very much ‘alive’”!
I just had the pleasure of seeing the wonderfull whites documentary and really enjoyed it. I think he’s an awesome dancer. I hope this about him being dead is bullshit Cause I’d love the chance to see him do his thang again God bless and best wishes to the whites from a true fan
The most telling moment of the second 90s documentary was the distrustful stare in Jesco’s eyes when talking to the mustached man at the airport – the guy who said “we just love you” with that stupid grin on his face. Jesco was rightly suspicious at that point he was being made fun of. He even said, “I’m glad that you’re behind me, too,” emphasizing “behind” with that look of uncertainty in his eyes. Jesco’s smart.
“We’re all already dead, just alive to talk about it.”

go fuck yourself and she did request it be taken down you ignorant piece of shit!
Fuck you too, bo white.
You mean that wasn’t Jesco dancing with Wynona on Dancing with the Used-to-be Stars? Well, I do declare…
i live in wv. not too far from the white family. if this was true it would be huge headlines. telling lies about death is not funny. do you think just because celebrities are on t.v. they’re not real. they are and so are their families. how cold hearted.
There’s was this meth lab ‘sploded a few blocks away, and before the firetruck even got there, Jesco stood out front and inhaled the entire fire like some sort of Superman. Saved three worthless lives. And a kitten.
No, I just saw Jesco fending off six state troopers *and* a horde of zombies with half a bottle of Fighting Cock whisky and a pair of nail clippers.
Jesco’s not dead! I just saw him dancing on the wing of a Dreamliner landing at Memphis Airport!
The family has requested this be taken down. I sent an e-mail to this website for mammie white asking so. If they have any question at hand, I included her phone number. I think they (the whites) need to start a lawsuit. There are several people who need there asses raked over the coals for false accusations like this.
False accusations? There is video evidence to support everything written here, except for Jesco’s satirical death. Only ignorant hicks and conspiracy theorists believe anything found on this website (and there are plenty enough, God knows you’re one of them). Mamie didn’t request the story be taken down – You emailed her saying you think she should want us to take it down.
Mamie only said it is bullshit, which it obviously is. And so is your comment.
Blaine Harden sure got this story wrong, I have requested this FAKE story be removed ASAP…
he is sittin in front of me drinkin beer right now , and laughing. get a life!!!!
Tell him The Internet Chronicle loves him.
“We’re all already dead, just alive to talk about it.”
this is so sad that someone would put this on facebook and say that he is dead, even the worst people on earth do not deserve this, it’s a sick way at getting even it that is the intent, please keep you problems for someone to yourself i have enough to deal with in life without trash like this.
Jesco is not dead!! And who ever stated this is dead wrong about it!! Jesco is like a brother to me.He’s alive and doing well !!! This should be removed.False as all get out it is !!!
Why would someone say this stuff about Jeco, he is not dead.
This is utter nonsense and anyone who believes it is a moron. The person who posted this must be a sad , lonely pathetic person who is crying out for attention. I have already given this too much time. nothing to see here folks.
Wow!!! Where do you get your information our Jesco is ALIVE & WELL!!!
You people make me sick just trying to make a quick buck or ride on his tailcoats.
This entire website is LIES LIES LIES!!!! No one has ever heard of this site before now!!!
