Brit woman dies 'in state of arousal' while using sex toy

Irish Sun (ANI) Friday 9th July, 2010

A British woman in her thirties, who suffered a cardiac arrest while using a sex toy, is said to have died from being in a state of arousal.

Nicola Paginton was found dead by friends at her home in Cirencester in southwestern England in October last year, and police investigating the death found a vibrator and a laptop computer with pornographic images lying nearby.

Pathologist Dr Richard Jones could find no abnormalities in her organs and her friends said she seemed "fit and well" the day before her death.

"There is nothing in the heart which I can find to explain why Nicola died suddenly," News.com.au quoted him as saying.

"But I suspect it does represent a sudden cardiac arrest ... In Nicola's case there is another potential trigger and that is an increase in heart rate or blood pressure because of physical and emotional arousal," he said.

Gloucestershire coroner Alan Crickmore recorded a verdict of natural causes.

"More likely than not this occurred from being in a state of arousal," he explained. (ANI)
