probably the saddest story.
3 guys all from the same company check in to the hotel, its pretty late so they go straight to their rooms.
next morning they go to work we assume.
get a call from their office one of them has not turned up, can we ring his room, we do but get no answer.
another hour goes by, they call again, he's still not come to work, can we check his room ?
so we go to his room (duty manager asks me as a senior member of staff to go with her) and knock, no answer.
i can hear a tv on so we knock again, no answer !
she opens his door calling his name, room is dark as curtains are closed, tv is on, bed is still made, not been slept in and on the stand in the room is a suitcase and a holdall which is open.
no one is in the room but as we turn to leave we notice the bathroom light is on, so we call his name again, no answer.
knock on the bathroom door, no answer, try the door its locked, very strange.
we warn him we are opening the door with the emergency key and slowly push the door open.
we find him sat on the toilet obviously dead !
we then notice a porno mag on the floor and his tie has been tied to the towel rail and around his neck.
the guy had been knocking one off whilst choking himself, passed out and ended up hanging himself with his dick in his hand !
this was not long after Michael Hutchence from INXS and a conservative MP had done the same thing.
only time in 35ish years has someone died in the hotel i was working at.
