A woman gran who ran one of the country’s best-known bondage clubs was found dead in her own dungeon, an inquest heard. Mum-of-five Koulla Kakoulli, 56, was known as Mistress Dometria.
She ran The Brighton Dungeon and also starred in fetish flicks and body building tournaments.
She was found with cocaine, diazepam, ketamine and methodrone in her system.
Brighton Coroner Veronica Hamilton-Deeley described the dominatrix as an extraordinary woman and recorded an open verdict.
“Her death remains something of a mystery.” She said: “She was extremely professional in her work.
“She was an athlete.
“I cannot rule out one of the significant contributing factors was body building with the use of steroids.
“Many deaths are the result of a perfect storm.
“Of the many people I’ve met, Koulla was one of the most amazing.
“Leading her life as she wanted to.
“Extraordinarily well organised with a huge number of people who loved her.”
