The Ondo State Police Command has said it had begun an investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of a man and his girlfriend in the state.
A middle-aged man, simply identified as Eric and his yet-to-be-identified girlfriend, were reportedly found dead at a new apartment located in the Ayeyemi area of Ondo town, Ondo State, on Thursday.
According to reports, the lifeless bodies of the lovers were found stuck together in a sexual position, indicating that they were probably having sex before the incident happened. They were said to have been separated by a doctor, but they had died.
Though the real cause of the death of the secret lovers had yet to be unravelled, but a source claimed that the secret lovers were electrocuted during the sex romp.
The source, who refused to be identified, said, “The generator running on the premises of their building and a phone was seen charging on a socket placed on the bed. It may be possible that they had contact with a naked wire, resulting in their electrocution.”
Another source said the relatives of the deceased found them dead when they checked on him after they didn’t answer their phone calls the following day. They looked through a window, spotted the bodies, and then broke down the door to enter.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident, adding that an investigation had commenced into the incident.
“The man and the woman were lovers who were known by both relatives. They died in the room, but they were not stuck together. We have yet to know the cause but an investigation has commenced,” the PPRO stated.
