An atomic wedgie death is making headlines today after an Oklahoma man pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the death of his stepfather. Thirty-four-year-old Brad Lee Davis of McLoud, Okla. got into an altercation with 58-year-old Denver St. Clair on Dec. 21, 2013. The two men were drinking when St. Clair said insulting things about Davis's mother. That's when things turned violent.
Davis phoned 911, but it was too late. His stepfather did not survive. Authorities claim the suspect sent an incriminating text message to a friend before the fight that led to the atomic wedgie death. Davis allegedly told the friend that he planned to hurt St. Clair, having "nothing to lose."
"His underwear was pulled up over his head and the elastic band was around his throat," Lt. Jimmy Brewer explained of the atomic wedgie death. However, Davis maintains that he never meant to kill his stepfather; he only wanted the older man to suffer embarrassment when he regained consciousness.
According to the Washington Post, prosecutors are seeking a 35-year prison term in the case of the man's unusual death.
For those who haven't heard of the atomic wedgie, the Urban Dictionary offers this definition. "When one is still in undewear [sic] and someone pulls up on the waistband and tries to pull it over the recivers [sic] head."

While the man was still lying unconscious on the floor, Davis allegedly "grabbed St. Clair’s underwear and gave him an 'atomic wedgie.'" Death resulted when St. Clair's airway was cut off by the elastic band of his own underwear and he suffocated. The official cause of death was ruled as blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation.Davis phoned 911, but it was too late. His stepfather did not survive.
