A blonde Russian woman hanged herself with a dressing gown cord just minutes after having drunken SEX with her ex-boyfriend, an inquest heard.
Alina Bogdanova, 28, was found by her former partner Aleksandrs Zuks, 29, after they had a boozy romp behind her new boyfriend’s back on October 25 last year.
An inquest heard Miss Bogdanova had a dressing gown cord wrapped around her neck which she had attached to the bedroom door.
Miss Bogdanova had spent the night with Mr Zuks who lived with her brother at his home in Spalding, Lincs.
Giving evidence at South Lincolnshire Coroners Court, Mr Zuks said: “We slept together after she came to my bedroom.
“I fell asleep with her beside me but found her the next morning. I thought she was standing on the stairway next to the wall.
“I started talking and asking what she was doing there and when I came closer I realised that her bottom lip was blue.”

At the time of her death, Miss Bogdanova was in a relationship with fellow Russian Arturas Pakalniskis, of Peterborough.
He told the inquest: “She was very happy. She wasn’t depressed. I knew Mr Zuks lived at her brother’s address but I was not concerned (about her visiting the house).
“She just said that ‘I am going to see my brother’ and that was it.”
Miss Bogdanova’s brother Arnis told the hearing he had arranged for his sister to sleep in his room while he would use the sofa downstairs.
He told the hearing he texted her to say “come to bed” and she replied “sleep well.”
The next morning she was dead. South Lincolnshire assistant coroner Siobhan Kelly recorded a verdict of suicide.
She said: “Miss Bogdanova took her own life by hanging.”
Speaking after Tuesday’s hearing, a friend said: “Alina was a beautiful person.
“People thought she felt guilty about cheating on Arturas which is maybe why she killed herself but we will never know. It is so tragic. She was so full of life.”
