This is story is just too twisted to be untrue. I've included the text below, but you can also click here to read the story.

A man died after a sexual experiment involving dental anaesthetic went badly wrong, an inquest heard today.

David Baron, 58, was found dead wearing women’s clothes and hooked up to a machine pumping out nitrous oxide.


His wife Carol found him wearing a skirt and bra on the floor of his dressing room at the family home in Kings Stanley, Gloucestershire.

The inquest heard Mr Baron had experimented with medical gas before, but his wife said it was just to relax himself.

She told the inquest that on two occasions she had brought him round after he had slipped into unconsciousness while using gas.

The couple had been going through divorce proceedings and were sleeping in separate rooms, so it was not until Mr Baron failed to get up in the morning that his body was discovered in September last year.

The machine Mr Baron used to deliver the gas to a mask he wore was designed for dental anaesthesia.

But the Gloucester inquest heard it was faulty and was delivering only nitrous oxide rather than a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.

The cause of death was given as hypoxia and asphyxia due to the inhalation of nitrous oxide.

Cheltenham and Cotswolds Coroner Alan Crickmore recorded a verdict of accidental death.

“I think on this occasion David Baron was fulfilling his erotic fantasies,” he said.

“That is clear from pictures found surrounding him and the way he was dressed. The link cannot be denied.

“I think this was a sexual experiment which went very badly, and unintentionally, wrong.”
 
you mean you don't once in a while put on your woman's panties and sniff some funny gas??

we played with laughing gas in the dorms before... but sans the cross-dressing part... it was fun. Too bad the guy died.

but seriously, that's how I want to go... dying in the midst of sexual ecstasy!
 
Sort of a combination of autoerotic asphyxiation and nitrous sniffing. I have heard about people killing themselves doing either, but never in that combination.
 
I've heard of similar mishaps with older anesthesia machines, where the FiO2 control could be dropped below 21% (room air concentration), but they have long engineered to prevent that from being possible. As for nitrous setups, I'm not sure of the range- the Nitronox portable units we use in the field as EMT's are fixed concentration- but given the potential availability of older equipment and the strange stuff I've seen people do in the name of sexual pleasure (I've personally worked two autoerotic asphyxiation deaths, although neither involved anesthesia machines- justa plastic bag in one case, and a noose in the other) I would rule nothing out of the realm of possibility.
 
I remember a slide shown in one of our forensic medicine lectures:

A dead guy in womens clothes hanging in a tree with one hand on his still erect private parts. He had figured out a 'clever' mechanism allowing him to strangle himself while peeping into his neighbours bedroom window.
 
One of the great things about working in EMS or in an ED, is you never have any problem feeling that whatever mental hangups you have are minor compared to your patients. Even sexual perversions get taken to every extreme possible.

I've seen a guy who died with alligator clips (attached to a 9V battery) attached to his penis. He had a coronary and died before he could "clean up".

One of my coworkers transported a amorous young couple (teenagers) who while the girl was performing oral sex on her boyfriend, the skin became trapped in her braces and they were stuck together.

I've seen all manner of things inserted into the most forbidden of body cavities: a cell phone (CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YES? GOOD!); several varieties of vegetables; a cuttlefish (yes and no- yes: a cuttlefish, the variety of cephalopod; no: we didn't ask why); a pager (Air Force Lt. Colonel who was stupid enough to give us his pager number "for the report"- we then paged him just to see if it would still pick up (yes, it did); a full can of Coke; a broken broom handle (inserted by the father of the girl the patient was screwing when they were interrupted); a hard boiled egg; etc.

The last incident I will share is not a perversion really, just very disturbing: I've seen a man who lost his penis to a snapping turtle. Apparently his girlfriend and he were swimming au naturale, and the turtle mistook his penis for a food item.

I actually felt pain while reading this one. Crap, that sucks.
 
Yeah, that was a funny one. We got called to help lift the unlucky couple onto the cot. It took every ounce of what professionalism I have ( 😉 ) to keep from laughing.

WE NEED AN ORTHODONTICS CONSULT IN TRAUMA 1! STAT!
