Once at sea, Skylar Deleon allegedly tied the couple to an anchor, then threw them overboard alive. Their bodies have never been found.

While Deleon claimed (and news reports said) Deleon was once a star on Power Rangers, Deleon appeared only once as featured extra Roger on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, which aired May 4, 1994.

Skylar Deleon, charged with murdering an Arizona couple at sea, tried to cut off his penis with a razor blade while in Orange County Men's Central Jail awaiting trial, sheriff's officials said Friday.

Deleon, 29, was hospitalized after the March 13 incident. His penis was reattached and he was returned to jail the next day, said Damon Micalizzi, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

"Somehow he got a hold of a razor blade and tried to saw off his penis, but didn't complete the job," Micalizzi said.

Jail officials don't know how Deleon got the razor, which could have been taken into the jail, Micalizzi said. Hand razors are provided to inmates for shaving but they are modified to prevent the blades from being removed, he said.

"We do know there was a lot of blood and it was quite a scene. But from what I know, he didn't finish his task, and maybe it was too painful and that made him stop," Micalizzi said.

At the time, Deleon was in a mental health ward at the jail in Santa Ana. He did not have a cellmate.

1. I remember someone telling me about that and saying it was the Red Ranger.

My childhood was nearly destroyed, haha. I don't even remember a Roger.

2. Odd, that he tried to sever his penis in jail...

when he was known for playing an "extra Roger" in the TV show.

3. They should have let him finish the job - he's a big enough prick as it is,

he won't miss a little piece...
