UK Man Dies After Sex Game Goes Very Wrong

A UK Man who pretended to hang himself during a sex game died after the knife he gave his girlfriend to cut him down wasn't sharp enough.

Thirty-eight year-old Simon Burley put a noose around his neck as his girlfriend Elizabeth Hallam played the part of a neo-Nazi hangman.

But the girlfriend says after Burley kicked away the chair he was standing on, she could not cut the rope to save him because the knife he had given her in advance was blunt.

Police were called to the scene and despite the efforts of paramedics, it was too late.

Although neighbour Leslie Walker tells police she heard arguing and has her suspicions. But the girlfriend insists it was part of the sex game.

Police said they don't know if Burley � who was obsessed with watching women being hanged � simply didn't realise it, knew the knife was blunt and planned to kill himself, or was the victim of foul play.
