Australia: Woman Gets Trapped in Charity Box, Dies

It really makes you think…

RT:

A woman in her 30s has been found dead inside a charity bin outside a shopping center in Gold Coast, Queensland, with police and paramedics treating the bizarre incident as “non-suspicious.”

The body was discovered by a local resident inside a clothes donation drop-off box at a parking lot outside Stockland Burleigh Heads Shopping Centre around 7am on Monday. Police and paramedics were immediately called to the scene, but the woman was already dead at that point.

Although the incident seemed suspicious, the initial probe found no apparent foul play, and according to police, the death is now being treated as a tragic “misadventure.”

It is unclear, however, how and when she became stuck inside. Queensland Fire and Emergency Service personnel had to use power tools to cut the bin open to get the body out, according to a video shared by a local reporter.

“We are aware of a tragic incident in the carpark outside Stockland Burleigh Heads and continue to assist police with their investigation,” the mall’s spokeswoman said as cited by news.com.au.

They added that the woman has yet to be identified.

How does such a thing as this occur?
