A naked businessman found hanging at an all-male spa could have died as the result of a sex game that went wrong, a court heard yesterday.

Mr Yeo Hung Song may have been practising auto-erotic asphyxiation, which involves starving the brain of oxygen to increase sexual arousal.

But State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid said that suicide was also a possibility. He added that the 48-year-old restaurant boss, who was not married, suffered from depression and was believed to have harboured suicidal tendencies.

Mr Yeo was found dead in a cubicle at Club One Seven Spa & Gym - which is strictly for men only and has membership cards that list no names but only numbers. The court heard that he arrived on a motorbike at about 2pm on Nov 19 last year.

A 49-year-old man was found hanged in a room in Club One Seven at Boat Quay on Nov 19 last year.

Police officer Siaw Kah Swee said: “Club One Seven is a two-storey sleazy gay pub meant only for registered patrons.”

Singaporean Yeo Hung Song's body was discovered after two cleaners managed to unlatch the locked door.

They found Mr Yeo, naked and hanging from a metal chain around his neck.

Yesterday, his death was ruled to be caused by hanging.

The coroner said it could be the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. This meant he had been restricting his breathing in order to be sexually aroused.

He was also said to be depressed, so suicide could not be ruled out.
