MARRIED MAN DIES AFTER SEX WITH HIS LOVER
By Anshika Khera

A married man was having sex in a hotel with his lover when he died of a heart attack. The China court has ordered the woman to pay compensation to the family of her married lover. The man, surnamed Zhou, 66, died from a heart attack in Pingnan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on July 14, 2024. According to reports, Zhou had hypertension and had previously suffered a stroke. Hours before his death, he met his lover, identified as Zhuang, at a hotel. After they had sex, Zhuang noticed he was not breathing when she woke up.
Zhou’s wife and son sued both Zhuang and the hotel for 550,000 yuan (Rs 66 Lakh) plus funeral expenses. The court eventually ruled that Zhou’s death was mainly due to his pre-existing health conditions. However, it held Zhuang partly responsible, as she delayed calling for help and was involved in an extramarital relationship.
The court decided Zhuang , the lover, must pay 62,000 yuan (US$8,600), which is 10 per cent of the original claim. The hotel was not found liable, as the incident occurred in a private room and not a public area.
