CLEVELAND, OHIO -- Police say man well known for his collection of exotic animals has died after choking on a sex toy.

Sam Mazzola, 49, was found dead in his Columbia Station home on Sunday.

Last year, Mazzola came under scrutiny when a black bear, named Cherokee, killed an employee of the sanctuary.

According to Lorain County Chief Deputy Coroner Dr. Frank Miller, Mazzola was found face down on his water bed, restrained with handcuffs, chains and padlocks.

An autopsy determined the preliminary cause of death was asphyxia due to airway obstruction by foreign body.

Mazzola had a sex toy in his throat, which apparently obstructed his breathing, Miller said.

He was also wearing a leather mask with the eyes and mouth zipped shut and a two-piece metal sphere covering his head, according to the coroner.

According to detectives, Mazzola had help with the bondage equipment, but his assistant had left before he died.

No one has been charged in the death, which authorities believe was accidental.

(and no, I'm not into bondage myself and I'm honestly not sure how I know this, probably something from back in my college days.)

That is your story and you're sticking to it?

Me, I get off on plain ol' normal hetero sex in a bed, with some nice music and romantic chatter thrown in. No gag balls, leather hoods, etc. Candles are optional.

Chocolate. Don't forget chocolate...

> Chocolate. Don't forget chocolate...

Only afterward. I have discovered through careful scientific experimentation that if chocolate is available -prior- to sex, the "XX" participant tends to forget that sex is the reason they're there, and they concentrate on the chocolate instead. In some instances they can be reminded successfully, but only if the chocolate runs out.

Chocolate proffered shortly after sex seems to work well, however.

I'm not a fan of chocolate -during- sex. I have heard that it gets.... messy....

” but his assistant had left before he died. “

More likely the ‘assistant’ found out he choked to death and left.
