 SAN ANTONIO — The man who plunged 18 stories to his death early Friday from a downtown hotel had assaulted his wife after she refused to engage in four-way sex with another couple, according to one version of the story his wife told police. 
 
 In a report released Tuesday, police identified the man, 46, as Michael A. Ochoa, who friends described as a prominent area real estate agent. The Bexar County Medical Examiner had identified him as Michael Lopez on Saturday evening, but changed their records Tuesday to correct the name. 
 
 When police arrived at the Hilton Palacio del Rio hotel just before 2 a.m., Ochoa's wife was upset and crying. She had scratches on both her arms and her left ring fingernail ripped off, according to police. Her speech was slurred and her breath smelled of alcohol, police said.The woman, who was not identified, told police three different versions of the circumstances surrounding her husband's death. 
 
 In the first version, the couple had decided to have sex in their room with another couple. When the other couple arrived, Ochoa's wife “had second thoughts,” angering Ochoa, according to the police report. 
 
 Ochoa's wife said the other couple left the room before Ochoa started punching her in the head. Then he walked outside to the balcony and his wife did not see him any more. 
 
 Two security guards knocked on the door, then entered when nobody answered. Ochoa's wife told them her husband was on the balcony, but they didn't see him there. 
 
 In another account, Ochoa's wife told police that her husband had been fighting with another person in the room - one of the people she originally said the pair was supposed to have sex with. Ochoa's wife said she tried to intervene, but both people punched her. Both members of the other couple left and Ochoa went to the balcony, his wife said. Security arrived and Ochoa's wife lost sight of her husband, she said. 
 
 When asked again what happened, Ochoa's wife repeated the first story again, but said her husband was trying to escape security, thinking he was going to be arrested. His wife said she thought Ochoa was trying to climb down the balcony before security came in. 
 
 Ochoa's wife did not know that he had fallen from the balcony and died, according to police. 
 
 Security officers told police they heard a splashing sound upon entering the room. Ochoa's wife was lying on the bed and told officers her husband was out on the balcony, the security officers said. Looking over the balcony, the security officers saw the body in the river. 
 
 Officers found Ochoa's body unresponsive in the river. They pulled him out and laid him on the sidewalk. He had scratches on his back and hips, but officers did not know the extent of injuries to the front of his body. 
 
 Police noticed signs of a struggle in Ochoa's hotel room, but not on the balcony. 
 
 In surveillance footage of the other couple leaving the main lobby, they were walking calmly and did not have any noticeable injuries, according to police. 
 
 No one was charged in the incident. 

 × Husband falls to death from hotel balcony after argument with wife over sexual request 
 
 SAN ANTONIO, Texas (KSAT) — Moments before a man fell to his death from an 18th-floor balcony at a downtown hotel, he assaulted his wife because she refused to have four-way sex with another couple, according to a San Antonio police report. 
 
 The woman’s husband, identified as 46-year-old Michael Ochoa, has been described as a San Antonio-area real estate agent. 
 
 
 
 He fell from the balcony of a room at the Hilton Palacio del Rio hotel on April 25. 
 
 
 
 Ochoa’s wife gave police several different versions of what happened that morning, but she ultimately said a couple had agreed to have sex with her and Ochoa in their room. 
 
 
 
 She said Ochoa became angry when she had second thoughts and began punching her in the head, then tried to climb down from the balcony to escape security. 
 
 
 
 She said she did not know how he fell from the balcony and died. 
 
 
 
 Police said they did find signs of a struggle inside the room, but not on the balcony. They say Ochoa’s wife had scratches on both of her arms and the nail on her left ring finger was ripped off. 
 
 
 
 No one was charged.
– According to Michael A. Ochoa's wife, the 46-year-old had hoped to spend the wee hours of April 25 engaged in a foursome with his wife and another couple at a San Antonio hotel. Instead, he ended up dead, after falling 18 stories from his hotel balcony. Police last week released a report on the incident, which remains somewhat murky, in part because Ochoa's wife told them three distinct stories. What they do know is that when they arrived around 2am, she was crying, scratched, and missing a fingernail; video of the second couple exiting the Hilton Palacio del Rio indicated they weren't obviously injured, the San Antonio Express-News reports. What went down, version one: Ochoa's unnamed wife agreed to the four-way sex, then changed her mind when the other couple showed up; they left, Ochoa started assaulting her; then he walked outside and vanished. In version two, Ochoa got in a fight with a member of the other couple; both that person and Ochoa punched Ochoa's wife when she tried to break it up. Again, the other couple left, Ochoa went outside, and she never saw him again. Version three is essentially version one, except with Ochoa's wife saying her husband went to the balcony in order to flee security, who knocked on their door. Those guards were the ones who spotted Ochoa, who KSAT describes as an area real estate agent, in the river below; police say his wife didn't realize he fell or died, and they documented no signs of struggle on the balcony.
