Two men 'accidentally kill their friend' for snoring too loudly
A 35-year-old man died in France last weekend after two friends played a prank on him that backfired with fatal consequences.
The unnamed victim had been drinking with friends in an apartment in the Seine-Saint Denis area of Paris when he fell unconscious after consuming too much alcohol.
A judicial source told AFP: ‘The victim, who had drunk more than the others, suddenly fell into a deep and unconscious sleep.’

After falling asleep, the friends then stripped the man and drew on his face with a pen – claiming that it was an attempt to stop him from driving home if he woke up while inebriated.
But while two men later left the apartment, the other two became aggravated by their friend’s snoring and carried him outside – leaving him to sleep in the courtyard of the apartment block.
He was found dead the following morning, and it’s now believed that temperatures in the local area were as low as 3C overnight.
The two men who allegedly carried their friend outside are now facing manslaughter charges.
