Michael Barron, 38, a former Hollyoaks actor, died after a sexual encounter in Manchester in January 2025.
He had met Josh Baxter, 28, online. During the encounter, Baxter restrained and strangled Barron, causing oxygen deprivation and cardiac arrest.
Instead of calling for help immediately, Baxter searched online about breathing and prison sentences before dialing 999.
He was convicted of grievous bodily harm and intentional suffocation, cleared of manslaughter, and jailed for four years.
Barron’s family described him as kind, charismatic, and deeply loved.
