Why do I die during sexual intercourse with my girlfriend during work hours and recognize industrial accidents?

According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a man in his 60s who worked as a security guard at a factory in Beijing, China, died suddenly while having sex with his girlfriend in the security office on October 6, 2014.
The police investigation found no possibility of murder.
A year later, Zhang's son applied for industrial accident compensation from the Beijing Municipal Social Security Administration.
However, authorities said Jang died while having a relationship with his girlfriend while not performing his duties, so it was not a requirement for industrial accidents.
In 2016, Jang's son filed a lawsuit.
He argued that his father's death should be classified as an industrial accident because he had to work day and night. He also revealed that he had to meet his girlfriend in the security office because he worked alone in the factory, so he couldn't leave his job.
He also said that rest is a legitimate right of workers.
"It is normal for adult men to have sexual desires," he said. "Having sexual relationships is part of that rest, and my father didn't even leave his place of work. Therefore, his sudden death should be recognized as an industrial accident," he stressed.
The court of first instance accepted his claim.
The factory and social security authorities appealed, but the higher court upheld the first trial's ruling.
In the end, authorities announced that Jang's death falls under the category of industrial accidents, but did not elaborate on the compensation.
On the social media platform, a lawyer explained two key factors that allowed Jang's son to win the lawsuit.
"It was recognized as industrial accident that Jang worked 24 hours a day without holidays all year round," he said. "Jang's act of having sex with his girlfriend corresponds to a physiological need, such as drinking water and using the bathroom."
The other is that Jang did not engage in prostitution, but was dating his girlfriend, so his actions did not violate social customs, he added.
