France - Making California Look Sane by Comparison

In my morning review of news sites I found this gem on Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/world/france-business-trip-death-employee-sex-workplace-accident

From what I gather, France has some law approximating what we Americans would describe as a workers compensation death benefit.  In and of itself, that doesn't offend me, but the following fact pattern is just insane.

Parisian man is sent on a business trip about 90 miles south of Paris.  He has overnight lodging at L'Hotel A.  After the workday and on his personal time, the man meets a mademoiselle and they retreat to her place of accommodation at L'Hotel B and proceed to get busy.  Man has a total eclipse attack of the heart mid-coitus and drops dead.  Man's family seeks the workers comp death benefit from man's employer.

Even in California, the family, much like the decedent, would be screwed.  Getting some strange, even in one's one hotel, let alone a stranger's hotel, is not in the course and scope of the man's employment (I'm guessing).  It's what we would (appropriately) call a frolic. 

Well, the French don't see it the same way.  The court ruled in favor of the family because, I kid you not, boning "is a matter of everyday life, like taking a shower or a meal."

When approached for comment, the family said only: "thankfully, we got our fucking compensation."  (Okay, maybe I made that one up).
