A 25-year-old man in Hong Kong was found dead in his room on Oct. 23, two days after he told his family not to disturb him as he was preparing for exams.
He was found wearing only his underwear, with an 80cm long towel around his neck and a porn website open on his computer screen.
Not seen for two days
According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), the 25-year-old, surnamed Wong, had apparently told his family on the night of Oct. 21 not to enter his room as he wanted to prepare for exams.
He was not heard from again afterward.
On Oct. 23, his father went to check on him, only to find him dead in his room.
His father alerted the police at 6:24pm, and emergency responders later confirmed Wong's death at scene.
Wong was only wearing his underwear and had a 80cm long towel wrapped around his neck.
An image of a pornographic website was left on his computer screen.
The wrapped towel seemingly left a mark on his neck and there were signs of discolouration on his fingers and feet.
It was suspected that Wong had constricted his neck while watching a pornographic video to enhance sexual stimulation.
The constriction possibly led to asphyxiation and death.
No other suspicious injuries were found and there were no signs of struggle in his room, SCMP wrote.
Neighbours did not hear any arguments or unusual sounds.
Police are awaiting autopsy results to confirm the cause of death.
