A man has died after he was stripped naked and left outside by two friends because he was snoring too loudly.

They are facing manslaughter charges after the joke went wrong in Seine-Saint-Denis, northern Paris.

They were among a group of five people in an apartment. The 35-year-old victim fell into a deep sleep and they were able to draw on his face ‘for laughs’.

But when two other men at the flat left, they became irritated by his snoring.


A judicial source told AFP: ‘They decided to take him outside into the courtyard of the building.’

That’s where his body was found the next day, Sunday Morning, after temperatures fell to 3°C.



The two men who were arrested, aged 28 and 35, said that they took his clothes off to prevent him from driving home naked.

A judicial source told AFP: ‘The victim, who had drunk more than the others, suddenly fell into a deep and unconscious sleep.’

They are both now facing manslaughter charges and failing to rescue someone in need.
