Gay Sauna Death - Singapore

Just to show how everything is inter-connected........ just days after we uploaded the post on yet another death in a gay sauna in Vancouver and observing that those in Asia were well aware of what was going on there, a reader in Hawaii sent us a link from the Straits Times in Singapore reporting on the coroner's court finding on the death of a customer in a gay sauna in Singapore.

The brief report is quoted in full:

A naked businessman found hanging at an all-male spa could have died as the result of a sex game that went wrong, a court heard yesterday.

Mr Yeo Hung Song may have been practising auto-erotic asphyxiation, which involves starving the brain of oxygen to increase sexual arousal. 

But State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid said that suicide was also a possibility. He added that the 48-year-old restaurant boss, who was not married, suffered from depression and was believed to have harboured suicidal tendencies.

Mr Yeo was found dead in a cubicle at Club One Seven Spa & Gym - which is strictly for men only and has membership cards that list no names but only numbers. The court heard that he arrived on a motorbike at about 2pm on Nov 19 last year.
