The 60-year-old priest was questioned by the investigating judge and placed under arrest, the prosecutor's office said.

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.

        No. It’s a yes. I know them all too well. I know everything they’ve said. I know them like I know my own family. I hope they burn in hell.

          I asked you do you know these specific individuals in the story. You then go “I know a book” implying you don’t know these specific individuals. I don’t care about your prejudice and stereotyping - I asked if you know these people, not “the big bad clergy”.
