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.

    Well at least it was consensual and with adults. Drug charges should be dropped imo.

      Says the only person who left the room alive.

      I’m not saying it was or wasn’t (E: or that the death was planned or deliberate, though that is a possibility, however unlikely), or that consensually doing drugs together and having sex is wrong in itself, but the chem-sex world is absolutely rife with rape, coercion, and abuse, so to just assume it was consensual is a big leap.

    Sounds like they’d be a better fit for the Cult of Dionysus

    Hell isn’t real, but in this case I hope he went.

    Edit: I’m confused by the downvotes. Are we saying that people that have dedicated their lives to telling others they are going to be eternally punished and are a bad person because of the way they were born should have some sort of eternal reward when it turns out they were fucking hypocrites? I just want to make sure I’m clear on it. The “God hates ****” crowd gets into heaven after they die from having too much gay sex, and we’re OK with that? Coolcoolcool. I guess you can keep the downvotes coming, because I have no love for the clergy and see organized religion and its leaders as a fucking plague on humankind that should be wiped from existence, so my opinion on this matter will not change. They can burn.
