Woman dies while performing ‘degrading’ webcam sex for perv By Ebony Bowden June 26, 2019 | 8:50pm | Updated Enlarge Image Hope Barden passed away during a webcam show.Facebook A UK woman died from suffocation when she strangled herself for an online creep who paid her to perform “dangerous and degrading” webcam sex acts while he watched from home, a coroner ruled Wednesday. Disability worker Hope Barden, 21, was moonlighting as a webcam girl to make extra cash when pervert Jerome Dangar, 45, paid her to strangle herself — then watched as she suffocated in March 2018 without calling for help.

Authorities said he had been online when Barden died on March 15 and made no attempt to raise any emergency response when he saw she was in danger. The woman’s distraught family said she was “left to die” by Dangar after an inquest into her death ruled it was unlawful killing. The woman’s body was discovered by her roommate in Burton-upon-Trent before police eventually arrested the pub landlord in connection with her death in May. Barden’s mother said her daughter — who worked as a disability carer but became a webcam girl to earn extra money — was “beautiful and intelligent” and called for better regulation of the industry. “Anyone with daughters or other relatives involved in this terrible industry must be aware of the risk of harm,” Kate Barden said in a statement released through Staffordshire Police. “A duty of care exists in any relationship. If someone is obviously in danger, one has a legal obligation to take steps to help. In this tragic case, Hope was left to die,” she said. “We are sorely disappointed that this case can no longer bring any legal justice for Hope.” Staffordshire Police submitted a file to prosecutors suggesting they charge Dangar, from North Cornwall, with manslaughter but his death prevented that from happening. He was separately convicted of possession of extreme pornographic images in January 2019 and jailed for 15 months. “The death of Dangar ultimately prevented prosecutors from charging him in connection with Hope’s death as a result of sexually related role-play,” Detective Inspector John Quilty from Staffordshire Police said. “Hope was a 21-year-old woman and her death was tragic,” he added.
How does one strangle themselves to death? I didn't even know that's possible. Like you can't just let go when you feel like you're about to die?
How this type of sex stuff started I have absolutely no idea. Look up Michael Skakel, the murder of Martha Moxley. Then there's the "choking game" or "pass out" game which was going around 20 years ago and is still going on today. Why people do stupid stuff is completely beyond me, but to blame the sicko seems to be misdiagnosing what the problem is with this dead woman. Seriously. WHO DOES THAT???
Several famous people have died from “auto erotic asphyxiation” over the years eg actor David Carradine, comedian/ actor Robin Williams etc...

People have been committing suicide this way for centuries. But I get it, how you just don’t let go is crazy.
damn...read the headline and was thinking of something far more salacious, turns out it was just a little choking. RIP to the poor soul who'd use something other than her hands
