What was this Pompeii victim doing when he died?
 

A picture of a Pompeii victim has sparked cheeky suggestions that he was masturbating as the Mount Vesuvius volcanic eruption took his life.

A photo of a preserved body from Pompeii during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD has gone viral after sparking a lot of interest about how the man spent his last few minutes on Earth.
