A transgender woman has accidentally hung herself while
taking bondage photos in her bedroom, an inquest has heard.
A remote controlled camera & bondage equipment found in
her room led police to believe she was taking photographs at the time of her
death.
Equipment for so-called BDSM sessions was seen in the room,
suggesting Ms O'Brien was photographing her 'erotic asphyxiation'.
'I suspect she killed herself accidentally while taking
photographs.
Assistant coroner for Brighton & Hove Catharine Palmer
gave a verdict of accident after ruling Miss O'Brien
did not intend to cause her own death.

In July this year, doctors issued a warning to people
considering taking part in BDSM sessions to be careful not to get injured.
