Yes, this actually happened. On Sunday afternoon, a mailman found a couple naked and dead in their hot tub on Nassau Ave. An empty gallon of vodka was found nearby and according to authorities, the tub was still running.
And somehow the scenario gets even darker. Alicia Wieczorkiewicz and Jacek Crockiewitz, who were found facing each other in the tub, were not married. Crockiewitz’s wife showed up at the home later, stumbling upon what we can only assume was a very morbid and bizarre scene.
Gothamist pointed out that drinking alcohol before or during a hot tub session can increase the risk of dehydration and heat stroke, but judging by common sense, both of these things would have to be done to excess to actually cause the body to shut down completely. The medical examiner’s office is investigating the exact cause of death.
