Senator Barnes, pillar of Canberra's polished facade, found his final thrill at Sydney's hottest after-hours den, Lady Chatterley’s. While getting a lap dance the senator suddenly dropped dead. To make matters worse, the club manager just thought the senator had a heart attack and sent for an ambulance. It wasn’t until he was taken to ER that they realized that it was not natural causes. But by then, the private room that the senator had been using was sanitized leaving little in the way of forensic evidence.
