According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Court records revealed that Michael Dale had duct tape on his mouth and a plastic bag over his head when he collapsed.
Prosecutors said he was left with four layers around his head: duct tape, plastic bag, plastic wrap and more duct tape, for at least eight minutes before a 911 call was made.
When police arrived, Michaela Rylaarsdam was performing CPR.
Michael Dale was found in sweatpants and shiny black boots, wrapped in clingy plastic from his thighs down, with his arms bound above his head.
Videos and online connection
Investigators confirmed that the OnlyFans content creator recorded parts of the encounter, with eight short clips presented during her preliminary hearing. The footage was intended for her OnlyFans site.
Testimony showed that Michael Dale had contacted her online weeks earlier, paying to communicate and requesting specific acts, including having boots glued to his feet. He also asked her to glue his eyes shut, which she refused.

Legal proceedings and charges
Nearly two years passed before prosecutors filed charges, initially accusing Michaela Rylaarsdam of murder.
At her preliminary hearing, Deputy District Attorney David Jarman highlighted the dangerous circumstances surrounding Dale’s death.
Judge Daniel Link noted that while evidence was sufficient to proceed, the case raised questions about whether it amounted to second-degree murder or involuntary manslaụghter.
Courtroom statements and aftermath
Michaela Rylaarsdam’s lawyer, Daniel Cohen, said she gave a heartfelt apology in court, expressing remorse and acknowledging responsibility.
He added that she had sought therapy even before charges were filed.
Judge Link reflected on the fine line between consensual fẹtish practices and implied malice, pointing out that involuntary manslaụghter under California law involves an unlawful killing without intent to kill but with disregard for human life.
