"Tristan Egolf, a political activist and author whose first novel at age 27 won him comparisons to William Faulkner and John Steinbeck, has died. He was 33.
Egolf died May 7 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound....said G. Gary Kirchner, Lancaster County coroner.
...Egolf was known in Pennsylvania as the leader of the Smoketown Six, a group of men arrested during a visit by President Bush in July when they stripped down to thong underwear and formed a human pyramid to protest the Abu Ghraib prison-abuse scandal.
Disorderly conduct charges against the men were eventually dropped. Egolf and several of the others filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in December....
Egolf was also a musician and ran a multimedia arts Web site called Windmills that featured his music and writing.
