Engineer Xavier X Bio, Wiki

Engineer Xavier X, the man who died of a heart attack after having sex on a business trip in France back in 2016 was ruled to have been the victim of a workplace accident, making his company financially responsible. Xavier was working in the Loiret region on behalf of his bosses at railway construction firm TSO when he hooked up with a local woman.

Engineer Xavier X Death During sex on Business Trip ruled a ‘workplace accident’

Lawyers representing the Parisian railroad construction company TSO insisted he was not performing duties when he had the heart attack —stating that “adulterous sex act that he had had with a complete stranger,” according to the Times of London.

The appellant court judges ruled that an employee on assignment “is entitled to their employer’s protection for the duration of their mission … whether or not the accident takes place as part of a professional activity or as an act of normal life,” the report said.

They held up a 2016 lower court ruling in the case that stated, “A sexual encounter is an act of normal life like taking a shower or eating a meal,” according to the Times.

That means the February 2013 death of Xavier X, whose surname was not released, is officially an “accident du travail,” which entitles the victim’s family to benefits from both the state and employer.

The ruling means his dependants will receive a monthly payout of up to 80 percent of his salary until his due retirement age. After that TSO will still have to contribute towards his pension, reveals the report. Xavier’s employer fought the decision but lost at all stages.
