Article on his suicide...
http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2817&Itemid=42

CC was a common fixture at so many Twisted shows...I first met him at the Danbury show in CT. 2003. He was running around outside with lime green tights on, I just had to give him a hug....he was such a comedian and full of life. Below is an interview he did with TS. I hope now he has found peace...

Thanks for sharing this sad news. I do remember him from some of the shows--we chatted briefly about his photography. I'm so saddened that he felt so alone without options without knowing or realizing how many people care about him and miss him.

my thoughts to all of his friends and family--so tragic.

Sorry to be a little late on this one having just lost my cousin to lung cancer.

AJ Tony Confessori (CC) was a friend and a part of our dvd post production crew along with Dave Streicher. The idea of suicide as an answer has always mystified me. I have been in that long tunnel of depression. I contemplated it once when I was 22. The darkness past. i don't want in any way to come across that I felt the mental pain of Tony. I just wished for him to have been able to come out of the pain before making that last and final decision. He was always gracious and a gentleman. I can only send my condolences to his family and loved ones. It really puts so much into perspective. That may sound like a cliche but I sat it without irony or cynicism. It just is a damn shame. may he rest in peace

I used to see CC at the KISS Expos all through the 90's in Hackensack as well at Chiller every year. Very nice guy. R.I.P. : (

Sorry for the loss♥ of your cousin and AJ Jay Jay....I struggle to understand the act of suicide as well. I think so many of us have been to those darkest, very personal moments in life...but thankfully there was some ray of hope that pulled us through. "Until you walk a mile in my shoes......" Just incredibly sad that AJ couldn't find that ray....he was so kind and gentle, always smiling and bringing joy to those around him.

"A smile can hide a thousand tears
Keeping lies unknown throughout the years
Hiding away one's darkest fear
But it never heals the pain"

R.I.P. CC ♥
