A British clergyman died after a night of sex and drugs with a Belgian priest who has since been arrested on drug-related charges, Belgian authorities said on Saturday.
The 69-year-old, who has not been named, was spending the evening with his fellow cleric, 60, at a clergy house in Kalmthout north of Antwerp on Thursday when he became unwell, the prosecutor office said.
Shortly after midnight, the Belgian priest called the emergency services, who could not resuscitate his companion.
"It appears that the two men had used ecstasy and poppers together and had had sex. Two ecstasy pills were also found," the prosecutor's office said.

Well at least it was consensual and with adults. Drug charges should be dropped imo.
Says the only person who left the room alive.
I'm not saying it was or wasn't (E: or that the death was planned or deliberate, though that is a possibility, however unlikely), or that consensually doing drugs together and having sex is wrong in itself, but the chem-sex world is absolutely rife with rape, coercion, and abuse, so to just assume it was consensual is a big leap.
The other one was a 60 yrs old guy. Assuming it was coerced is a leap. They were both adult men of similar age.
Which has literally nothing to do with consent. Men rape other men their own age all the fucking time. What a ridiculous and wilfully ignorant point to try and make, jfc..
Given what we know about the church, this very well could have been a case of being drugged and coercion.
Right? But as is always the case with sexual violence - some people will always make excuses. It's just easier for them than confronting the reality (E: that it's even a possibility), usually because they're far enough removed from being at direct risk.
