A British clergyman died after a night of sex and drugs with a Belgian priest who has since been arrested on drug-related charges, Belgian authorities said on Saturday.

The 69-year-old, who has not been named, was spending the evening with his fellow cleric, 60, at a clergy house in Kalmthout north of Antwerp on Thursday when he became unwell, the prosecutor office said.

Shortly after midnight, the Belgian priest called the emergency services, who could not resuscitate his companion.

“It appears that the two men had used ecstasy and poppers together and had had sex. Two ecstasy pills were also found,” the prosecutor’s office said.

    In their age fun can have unexpected effects. 60 is not that old, but it can happen. At least he did have some fun, an adult consensual fun is ok.

      Well it was the 69 year old that died, so maybe.

      But if you’re 69, and have a heart condition, I dunno. Maybe try lube instead of poppers.

        On the other hand, someone might find it better to die having sex than having cancer or something…
