A librarian was found dead in a cupboard — when a solo sex game went wrong, an inquest heard.
Simon Smith, 38, was wearing a latex mask over his head when he was found dead in a cupboard.
An inquest heard the former funeral director had been trying an “extremely dangerous” game called “breath play” when he accidentally killed himself.
The game, also known as erotic asphyxiation, is the intentional restriction of oxygen to the brain for the purposes of sexual arousal.
It increases feelings of giddiness, lightheadedness, and pleasure.
But it can tragically lead to death when a person loses control and is starved of oxygen.
The alarm was sparked on May 26 when bookish Smith failed to turn up to his job at the local library, the inquest in Milford Haven heard.
Coroner’s officer Jeremy Davis said: “His employers at Pembrokeshire library were concerned about his safety.”
Police forced their way into Smith’s house in Fishguard, a coastal town in south-west Wales, and found him in the cupboard wearing a “black leather mask.”
Coroner Mark Layton said Smith was found hanged in the cupboard but ruled his death was not deliberate.
He said: “There is nothing to suggest that this was an attempt at suicide, Smith’s history of depression doesn’t appear to be a factor in his death.”
Layton said Smith died from attempted “sexual asphyxia” and said: “The proper and correct verdict is one of misadventure.”
An obituary given for Smith described him as a “Jack of all trades” who had previously worked in a local garden center, bakers, bowling alley, bank assistant and had run his own branch of funeral directors.”
He was described as a talented singer with “a beautiful and strong singing voice.”
