Skip Chasey, a mid-level executive at Wme in the TV business affairs department, will not face any professional disciplinary action for his connection in a bondage-related death in his home last fall, the agency said on Friday.
The agency said it became aware of the circumstances of the death this week — but that Chasey would face no professional consequences since he faces no criminal charges for his role in the death of Duncan Gilbert, 48, during a “recreational mummification bondage” ritual gone wrong.
“While we were unaware of the circumstances surrounding this personal matter until now, we understand that the police file is closed and no charges were brought. If other facts develop we will re-evaluate the situation and determine any appropriate action to take,” Wme said in a statement.
