A 69-year-old British clergyman has died after a night of sex and drugs with a Belgian priest in Kalmthout, north of Antwerp, Belgium, Belgian authorities said.
The 60-year-old Belgian priest was later arrested and is accused of drug trafficking resulting in death. The incident occurred Thursday night at a clerical residence, when the two men began to feel unwell after consuming ecstasy and poppers, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Shortly after midnight, the Belgian priest called the emergency services who, despite their efforts, were unable to resuscitate his British companion. Two ecstasy pills were found at the scene, confirming that both people had consumed drugs before the tragic outcome. Despite the autopsy, the authorities have not yet determined the exact cause of death, leaving the investigation open in order to clarify all the details of the case.
“It appears that the two men took ecstasy and pills and had sexual intercourse. Two ecstasy pills were also found. Traces of narcotics were found on the victim’s body,” the prosecution said.
The events took place while Pope Francis was visiting Belgium.
