Drugged up and autoerotic asphyxiated is a bad way to die at work

I’m sure this is the most surprising headline you’ve ever read on this site because who would think that choking yourself during orgasm at work is a bad idea. But lo and behold, it is.

A security guard accidentally suffocated himself in an autoerotic accident, an inquest heard.

Ralph Santiago, 31, was found dead in the men’s toilets of the building he worked wearing Wellington boots, a wetsuit and gas mask.

His body was found by a colleague at about 7am on Tuesday, July 22, last year, lying on the floor with a gas canister nearby.

Further rubber/latex outfits were found in Mr Santiago’s car and in the ladies’ toilets of his workplace at Aquis House in Blagrave Street, Reading.

Mr Courtenay visited the staff bathroom and discovered the men’s toilet was locked. He went upstairs to get a key, when he opened the door he found a body.

However, he was not certain it was Mr Santiago because only his eyes were visible under the mask.

Paramedics and the police were called. In a statement, PC Barbara Cummings described Mr Santiago as wearing “a black latex suit, gloves, a gas mask and Wellingtons.”

Mr Santiago’s girlfriend Hannele Vaher did not attend the inquest but had previously explained “he had fetishes”, of which she did not take part.

She said he was “prone to dressing up” and adding that he took poppers.

I get that sexual deviance like this is probably not something you have a lot of control over, but man I’m finding it hard to relate to this dude. I think we’ve all had the impulse to j.o. at work, perhaps while looking at that saucy secretary or naughty CEO (mmm tell me more about fiscal solvency and making cutbacks to avoid layoffs) but actually taking the jump to doing it is a pretty unhealthy thing to do. I could only imagine that choking yourself out in a gas mask in the men’s room would make that even more difficult (and somehow even creepier). In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a creepier way to jerk off, unless you worked at a school for retarded kids and had a penchant for making them yell gibberish while you fist yourself. Yeah. That’d probably do it.
