A man has drowned in a swimming pool at a James Bond-themed swingers party in a mansion, it has emerged.
The reveller, aged 35, got into difficulties while in the pool with six others and was pulled out of the water and given first aid by the mansion’s owner but died at the scene.
Police and ambulance crews attended the scene at a luxury house in upmarket Radlett, Herts, but the man was declared dead at the in the early hours of March 28.
The victim was attending an event organised by Radlett Adult Parties which hosts swingers parties on the fourth weekends of every month at the mansion.
Friday nights are singles nights and couples’ nights are held on Saturdays.
Richard Stanley, 66, who runs the business which hosts the parties, along with his partner Janet Harrison, 58, said: “Everyone is very shocked including me.
“I heard somebody yell that there was someone lying at the bottom of our pool. There were about a dozen people there at the time and about six in the water. I dived in and pulled the man out.
“There was a nurse present too and we gave him first aid.
"I didn’t stop CPR until the ambulance crew turned up but sadly he was declared dead at the scene. We don’t know whether it was a heart attack - I gather a postmortem is being held this week to find out what happened.
“We’ve never had a tragedy like this before. It was horrible to witness and I feel very sorry for the man’s family. The police said the death was not suspicious.”
Radlett Adult Parties featured in a Channel 4 series last year called Jon Richardson Grows Up, in which the comedian travelled the UK examining the modern aspects of becoming an adult.
The party website states: “Radlett is one of the UK’s most well established and popular swinging parties. Perfect for newbies and experienced swingers alike.”
It claims its paying guests are “hot blooded sexual Olympians” who enjoy facilities that “include a 16 metre long covered pool, 10 metre dance room with dance pole, sauna, hot tub, 3 secluded acres for summer evening revelry”.
Hertfordshire Police confirmed an investigation into the man’s death is underway and a postmortem will be held this week.
A spokesman for Herts Police said: “Police were called to a social gathering at Radlett at 12.45am on Saturday 28th March.
“When we attended we found a man had died at the scene.
“An investigation is under way into the death and a postmortem will be held next week.”
As well as the swimming pool, the mansion venue has a sex chamber, a dance room with a pole and a sauna
