QUINCY - A dominatrix told police she and her boyfriend dismembered and disposed of the body of a New Hampshire man after he died during a sadomasochistic sex game, according to a published report.
The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, quoting unnamed sources close to the investigation, reported Monday the woman was with Michael Lord, 54, of North Hampton, when he died at her condominium July 3.
The woman, who was not identified, told police she was afraid to report the death, so she and her boyfriend decided to get rid of the body themselves, unnamed sources told the newspaper.
The two cut up the body with a hacksaw and removed the man's organs - preserving them in ammonia - before putting all the body parts in eight double-bagged trash bags and tossing them into a trash bin in Maine, the woman told police, according to the Ledger.
Police would not comment Monday on the record about the report.
Lord was reported missing after he drove to Quincy on July 3 and met the woman. Police said cellular phone records indicated he made several calls to the woman's condominium, and visited her Web site several times, the Ledger reported.
The woman told police that Lord stopped breathing during their encounter and she couldn't revive him.
His body has not been found.
Police in Quincy and North Hampton, N.H., referred all calls to Norfolk County District Attorney William Keating's office. Keating's spokesman, David Traub, told the Ledger the man's cause of death may have been related to "consensual adult contact.'' He did not immediately return a call for comment Monday from The Associated Press.
