[UPDATE] A 26-year-old lighting designer was found dead in his Financial District apartment last night. Matirical employee Alejandro Bulaevsky was found handcuffed in a latex suit and latex mask on his kitchen floor, police officials told the Post. There were no signs of forced entry or trauma, and an autopsy is now being performed to determine the cause of death. According to WABC, the superintendent found Bulaevsky's body after he failed to report to work yesterday morning. Bulaevsky studied film at Tisch and Lighting Design at Parsons, and had worked on numerous projects in New York and Las Vegas.
The Daily News reports that Bulaevsky's boyfriend was staying in England, and called Bulaevsky's family when he wasn't able to reach him. Detectives are now looking through Bulaevsky's email account to see if there was anyone else who may have had access to his apartment, as video surveillance last shows him entering his building alone. They also believe the latex suit he was found wearing "was designed for an S&M sexual act."
