Hideki Irabu Suicide
Former New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu was found dead yesterday in his California home -- and law enforcement sources tell TMZ, it appears he committed suicide by hanging himself. We're told a friend found him.

L.A. County Coroner is still trying to locate next of kin.

Hideki played for the Yankees, Expos, and Rangers -- last pitching in the big leagues in 2002. He won World Series rings with the Yanks in 1998 and 1999.

Irabu was 42.

It could have been another nasty riot situation -- but thanks to the LAPD, Lady Gaga made it to Jimmy Kimmel's studio in one piece ... and she expressed her gratitude in a handwritten note.

According to sources at the Chateau Marmont -- where Gaga is staying -- a hotel employee handed the note out to fans ... in which LG thanks the police for keeping the peace.

Gaga is set to appear tonight on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

As we previously reported, cops in riot gear descended on Hollywood last night -- after an impromptu "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience" premiere concert turned into a free-for-all.  Truth be told ... it was kinda lame.
