Tom Cruise Extortioner Found Dead by Suicide
David Hans Schmidt, 47, who agreed to plead guilty to extortion of Tom Cruise, was found dead in his townhouse of suicide. He had been in contact with Cruise’s management regarding photos of Cruise and Katie Holmes from their wedding in Italy last year.
His attorney, Nancy Kardon, said she had spoken to Schmidt earlier this week and was preparing for an Oct. 11 hearing in federal court where he would enter his formal guilty plea to attempted extortion. She said she had planned to ask for probation.
Schmidt also peddled Paris Hilton’s photos, diaries and personal items from the LA locker she didn’t pay her bill on and said to broker a deal to release the sex tape of Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved by the Bell,) and of Toyna Harding, the disgraced former Olympic skater, from her wedding night.
