An argument between a Russian couple may have gotten out of hand.
A woman in St. Petersburg was reportedly angry with her husband for being drunk and refusing to get up off the couch, a hide-a-way that folds up into the wall.
In concluding the run-in, she is said to have kicked the handle that flips up the couch-bed, and her husband went with it.
She left the room, returning three hours later to check on her mate - who she thought was unusually quiet.
Rescue service workers say the man got caught between the mattress and the back of the couch, killing him instantly.
St. Petersburg media reported the incident Wednesday, saying police refused to comment.
