Inside the Hornsby Sydney brothel and massage centre where elderly man in his 70s died
>
Described as the “jolliest place to visit”, but a trip to this brothel on Sydney’s North Shore ended in tragedy for a man in his 70s, with his death shrouded in mystery amid a police investigation.
He was visiting the popular adult entertainment business Hornsby 142, also known as ‘Hunter Hunnie’, on Sunday when staff called emergency workers out of concern for his well-being.
When they arrived, he was dead.
The man’s death was the second at a Sydney brothel in just a month, with another body also discovered on November 22 at an establishment on New Canterbury Road in Dulwich Hill.
Police established a crime scene and she was seen outside the Hornsby facility on Monday morning, but the investigation is ongoing and detectives have yet to determine if her death was suspicious.
However, the 24-hour brothel was open for business and was accepting clients on Tuesday morning; some were seen waiting outside until they were quietly ushered in around 11 a.m.

Hornsby 142, also known as Hunter Hunnie, has about 50 sex workers in its catalog
Staff refused to say anything about the incident, with a woman telling Daily Mail Australia that she was unable to comment.
It is not the first time that the business, which has a catalog of some 50 sex workers, has made headlines.
In 2019, the property was the subject of a police drug raid in which four women, including a 49-year-old sex worker and the brothel mistress, were arrested and charged with drug charges.
Brothel owner Min Van Campenhout, 47, was sentenced to 12 months’ probation after she was found in a store with drugs including methylamphetamine, heroin, cannabis and MDMA.
He also had 13 boxes of prescription erectile dysfunction tablets, but his lawyer told the Paramatta Local Court that most of them had expired and were intended for his ex-partner.

Van Campenhout’s lawyer said she was sorry for her actions and had taken steps to ensure the facility was drug-free.
Police also found Wai Kwan Mo, a 49-year-old sex worker, in a room inside the brothel with a male client, who was lying on a bed with 26g of MDMA in a resealable bag.
Messages on his phone revealed that he had been selling MDMA to customers with the code names ‘apple’ and ‘orange’.
The brothel looks inconspicuous from the outside, but is a ‘nicely decorated’ multi-story sex den on the inside.
“Our goal is to give you the most relaxing time,” the website says.

‘our massage [will] she will relax you quickly while kissing + the playful nature will warm you up very quickly.’
The site also has a variety of reviews from prospective and returning customers, asking about the availability of their favorite staff and whether they can accommodate special requests.
‘I managed to do a super double with power girls Vivian and Kikki. Incredible bodies, beautiful personalities and attentive to every request. Shut up and take my money,’ wrote a man calling himself ‘Mr Handsome’.
Another asked about a sex worker with ‘the best legs and feet’, another asked if it was possible to hire two women at once, and someone else asked about golden showers.
The mystery arises after the body of a man was found in another brothel in Sydney a week earlier, following reports of welfare concerns at an establishment on New Canterbury Road in Dulwich Hill.
“Officers from Police Inland Area Command West attended and found a male, aged 59, deceased inside the premises,” police told Daily Mail Australia in a statement.
A crime scene was established and police began an investigation into the man’s death.
The police have prepared a report for the coroner’s information.
SECOND BORDELO DEATH
Emergency workers could be seen moving the body of a 59-year-old man from another brothel in Sydney, just a month before the man died in Hornsby.
This time, it was an adult entertainment business on New Canterbury Road, near Dulwich Hill, in the inner-west of the city.
Police were called to the business at 12:00 pm on November 18 out of concern for his well-being.
He was dead when they arrived.
