Hospital Employee Dies Masturbating to Adult Film

Perhaps America’s favorite pasttime, second to baseball, is masturbating. The beauty of it is that everyone loves masturbating. Women love it. Men love it. What's better than an orgasm? The French refer to an orgasm as “la petite mort,” the little death. But it’s quite rare to see someone actually die after they masturbate, or during. This hospital employee, however, died while masturbating to an adult film while he was on the job! We've also added in the strangest cases of people dying while masturbating because it's interesting, and maybe it'll serve as a PSA for all of you readers! Be careful out there!

New York City. It was in the North Central Bronx Hospital where a 48-year-old man lost his life. He was discovered at 10 a.m. the morning of his death by a co-worker who said he was unresponsive.

Disrobed. The man was said to have been found in a “remote area” of the hospital and he was “partly disrobed,” according to police reports. It’s said that the man may have died of a heart attack while masturbating, as he was found near a computer playing an adult film.

Foul play. It looks as if for now the case is fairly cut and dry. Authorities don’t suspect any foul play. But don’t panic if you think you’re going to pass away during your next self-play session. Apparently, Complex reports that in 2013, some Belgian researchers found that you have a greater chance of dropping dead after a cup of coffee than after having sex.

Sausage. Knowledge Solutions LLC posted a case study about a woman who was found dead having suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage after masturbating with frozen sausages. “On the bed immediately below her vagina lay a long sausage, which in all probability, fell from her vagina after death,” the report states. “On the kitchen counter a package of similar sausages, once frozen, had since thawed.

Death by masturbation. We were too intrigued by this story to not investigate other instances of people dying while masturbating and apparently there are... quite a few. In 2011, a Chinese med student by the name of Zheng Gang died in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology sperm bank where he was working. Zheng had been going at it for two hours without orgasming when the attendant found him dead.

Court. Gang’s parents brought the sperm bank to court, saying they were responsible for his death. The court, however, ruled Gang was fully able to make his own decisions and that he could have decided whether he wanted to participate at the sperm bank or not. In 10 days, Gang had made four trips to donate sperm.

Vacuum. In 1988, the American Journal of Foresnic Medicine and Pathology reported on a strange case of a 57-year-old man who suffered a heart attack while engaged in an unusual autoerotic practice involving a vacuum cleaner. The man’s genitals were bound tightly with panty hose when he was found. He also had been burned, perhaps self-inflicted, and a variety of items were found on his dining room table including lubricant, a glass of urine, and a wooden table leg covered in fecal matter.

Too much pleasure. We didn't know there was such a thing, but Nicola Paginton passed away due to a heart attack caused by "physical and emotional arousal." We guess you can never be too careful when you're masturbating.

Tractor. The book Autoerotic Fatalities tells the tragic tale of a man who fell in love with is tractor, and then died in its ar.. well tractor’s don’t have arms, but pretend. The man died because of accidental autoerotic asphyxiation and carbon monoxide intoxication. He kept a journal of love poems that he wrote for the tractor, which was named “Stone.”

Wet suit. Strange things happen everywhere but this case in Montgomery, AL, of a reverend who died from accidental mechanical asphyxia is quite strange. When his body was found he was not only hogtied, but wearing a face mask, a head mask, diving flippers, diving gloves, and two full rubber wet suits.

Steve Milligan. This conservative Member of Parliament was found dead in his London apartment back in 1994. He was entirely nude, with the exception of a pair of stockings and suspenders. There was an electrical cord tied around his neck and a trash bag over his head. Investigators found an orange segment in his mouth at the time of his death, but are still unsure as to why it was there.

Zucchini. The University of Hawaii ran a report about a man who died while choking on a zucchini he had shoved down his throat while masturbating. It’s unconventional, for sure. The report said, “Removal of the trousers showed the penis to be semi-erect; around the bee of the penis was a rubber band. On the lower abdomen and in the groin was dried, white colored material, subsequently identified as semen… Internal examination showed a zucchini impacted in the larynx and oropharynx, totally occluding the airway.”

Don't plug it in. Plain and simple, but one Australian man learned the hard way that plugging in a wall-mounted electric cord to zap himself into ecstasy wasn't wise. Live wire + your penis = not a good idea.

INXS. Two members of INXS, Michael Hutchence and David Carradine, are dead. Hutchence’s death was ruled a suicide, while Carradine’s was not. They allegedly were both found in closets dead and undressed. Former lovers of both came forward to say they regularly engaged in autoerotic asphyxiation.

Cord. Though Kristian Etchells was a much-despised figure and a member of the British National Front party, news of his death caused ripples throughout the media. At the age of 29 he was found dead in a cupboard inside his apartment with a cord wrapped around his neck. On the floor was a photo of a woman dressed as a schoolgirl.
