A 60-year-old British man has collapsed and died in an Italian sex shop while watching a pornographic film, according to reports. The 60-year-old – who has not been named – was on a cycling holiday when he parked up outside the sex shop in Marghera near Venice on Friday afternoon.
After paying €5 (£4.43) for 15 minutes of film watching time, he headed to a private booth and locked the door.
Staff claim they became concerned when he failed to emerge after 30 minutes and then found him collapsed on the floor.
Franco Garoni, who is the owner of the establishment said, “I had never seen him before and he came in after leaving his bike outside.
“He was cycling through on his way to Venice and asked about watching a sex film so I showed him a booth and he paid the €5.

“That gives you 15 minutes and a red light comes on to show it’s busy but when he didn’t come out after half an hour we went to have a look and he was collapsed on the floor.”
“Thinking about it he did seem a little tired when he came in.”
The staff called an ambulance, but the paramedics were unable to revive the British man. He was pronounced dead and was transported to a local mortuary.
Further investigation concerning the incident is being carried out by the police.
