Doctors examined him and found a haemorrhage in his eye caused by a pressure build up when he had an orgasm. According to a report in The Sun, the BMJ report stated, "During orgasm the valsalva manoeuvre [holding your breath to prevent an orgasm] can produce a sudden increase in retinal venous pressure resulting in vessel rupture and haemorrhagic retinopathy,"
