A British professor was found dead in the basement ' sex dungeon ' of a senior Hollywood executive, it has been reported.

Dr Doran George, 48, died suddenly during a 'mummification bondage sex session' in Los Feliz, California, US, last November.

The tragedy occurred at the home of Skip Chasey, an executive for the Hollywood talent agency William Morris Endeavour (WME).

Details of Dr George's disturbing case first emerged on the Mark Ebner podcast, The Grey Zone , earlier this week.

It was found that the professor died suddenly "during recreational mummification bondage" and had been “head to toe in plastic wrap and gaffer’s tape", according to a coroner's report.

The cause of his death is still "undetermined."

A small amount of the drug GHB was found in his system and a locked chain was found around his neck.

Dr George, born Duncan Gilbert, taught at the University of California, Los Angeles and was also worked as a dancer and avant-garde choreographer.

LAPD detectives say there is "no criminal component" to his death and charges have not been filed.

Mr Chasey, a well-known figure in the BDSM community, is employed as a TV Business Affairs executive at WME, based in Beverley Hills.

“While we were unaware of the circumstances surrounding this personal matter until now, we understand that the police file is closed and no charges were brought," a spokesperson for the company told Page Six.

"If other facts develop, we will re-evaluate the situation and determine any appropriate action to take."

Dr George and Mr Chasey were believed to have been in a mutual relationship for "several months" when the incident occurred.

The pair “routinely had bondage sessions”, according to the autopsy report.

“The two guys were friends, they’d had sexual relations for months," Chasey's lawyer told PEOPLE magazine.

"The way it ended was not what either man expected."
