Sam Rickey

On February 27, 2006, at The Kitty Patch, in Tonopah, NV. A 32-year-old virgin goes to a prostibule looking to have sex with a hooker, and chooses between a Pocahontas-like prostitute and a hooker in a French Maid outfit, until he is chosen by a dominatrix, who makes him wear a latex suit and a ball gag as she is punishing him by whipping him with a riding crop. The man soon has an allergic reaction to the latex suit (which he was unaware he had), and to his bad luck, his cries of distress were muffled by the ball gag and the dominatrix thought he was groaning from pleasure, not pain. The allergy only gets worse, and the man dies from a fatal anaphylactic shock.
