News update Gay sex romp turned fatal

Dead man had consumed sex drugs and ketamine with gay partner
By Khushwant Singh

THEY were a homosexual pair who would often combine several sexual enhancement drugs with ketamine and Ecstasy.

But last year, the deadly cocktail of drugs cost Mr Francis Wee Chin Wah his life. State Coroner Victor Yeo returned a verdict of misadventure in an inquiry into the death yesterday.

Last Sept 15, the 43-year-old was found dead on his bed by his elderly mother in his River Valley Road shophouse, where he lived and sold art, bags, ceramics and vases.

His lover, Mr Eric Sin Hoo Kat, 36, lay under the bed unconscious. Mr Sin survived.

The inquiry yesterday heard that Mr Wee's mother, Madam Ee Kim Neo, had gone to the shop on the afternoon of Sept 14 to clean it, as she regularly did.

She saw him lying naked and on his back, but thought he was asleep. She also heard groans, but thought it was her son snoring.
