Don Lapre -- the self-proclaimed "King of Infomercials" -- was found dead in his Arizona jail cell early Sunday morning of an apparent suicide ... just days before he was set to go on trial for allegedly selling millions of dollars of bogus vitamins.
Officials found a "large amount of blood" in the jail cell where "King of Infomercials" Don Lapre was discovered Sunday morning, law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... and we're told it appears Don had cut himself.
So far, no word on what object Don may have used to allegedly cut himself.

I also never heard of him. Its sad to hear that people take there own lives.
So Don Lapre was a legend in his own mind, giggle2.gif.
Sorry, I shouldn't be like that. It's a cryin shame when someone commits suicide, if it was suicide.
Don Lapre died from a self-inflicted razor blade wound to the neck, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
We're told jail guards found piles of blood-soaked clothing lining Don's bed in his Arizona jail cell. Sources say ... officials believe Don used the clothing to conceal the bleeding in order to thwart efforts to save his life.
Lapre was found dead in his cell Sunday morning. The autopsy was completed yesterday.

Sounds like a conspiracy!! Sounds very unlikely he would slice his throat to commit suicide, rather than his wrist, ecspecially if he was trying to hide it! The more likely scenerio is that someone murdered him and covered him up to hide it as long as possible; alot of shysty stuff goes on in prison systems! They should definately investigate this alot deeper....
If it truly was "suicide"....without his medicine (anti-depressants)....it is still murder...MURDER BY THE SYSTEM... ~~TRUELY SAD!! 6_6.gif sad.gif
