Schulthise died by suicide from a drug overdose on March 10, 2004, at age 47. In late 2003, he told an interviewer that his favorite bassists were Mike Mills ( R.E.M.), Johnny Gayden ( Albert Collins Band) and Charles Mingus. He moved to Serbia for work and study in 1998, but in the wake of the NATO bombing campaign there he was forced to return to the US.

He helped form the band in 1983 along with fellow pseudonymous musicians Joe Jack Talcum, Dean Clean, and Rodney Anonymous. Schulthise was born in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. Appearing Saturday at the Warner Theatre with the Cramps and the B-hole Surfers.David Schulthise (Septem– March 10, 2004), otherwise known as Dave Blood, was the bass guitarist for the punk band The Dead Milkmen. Sweetly smart-alecky lines like: "Let's have a child / We'll name her Minnie Pearl / Just you and me / Eating fudge banana swirl / Just you and me / We'll travel 'round the world / Just you and me, punk rock girl" suggest that red human blood may pump though the hearts of these dead boys, after all. But it's "Punk Rock Girl," the only song that shows some vulnerability amidst all the attitude, that redeems the record. The Milkmen's attacks on established stars range from the understandable ("Beach Boys") to the offensive (the James Brown-ie "RC's Mom") to the meaningless ("I Walk the Thinnest Line"). From the junior high locker-room anthem, "My Many Smells," to the cosmopolitan smut of "Sri Lanka Sex Hotel," the Milkmen never shrink from expanding a jejune one-liner into a song. Both suggest that any stray thought that ever crossed Rodney Anonymous', uh, mind can and will become a Milkmen tune. Their new 17-song "Beelzebubba" follows closely on the heels of their equally, uh, generous "Bucky Fellini" album. MAYBE the Dead Milkmen are just a little too fecund for their own good.
