A woman in Toronto reportedly died after getting stuck in a clothing donation bin.

A woman in Toronto, Canada, reportedly died after getting stuck in a clothing donation bin, according to the Globe and Mail. Area authorities responded to a call about the incident in the early hours of Tuesday and found the female unconscious.   According to NBC News, "The woman, whose upper body was in the bin and had to be cut free, died at the scene." This is said to be the eight bin-related death in Canada since 2015.  Notably, homeless people are considered to be at particular risk, as the donation receptacles serve as both sources of clothing and shelter on cold nights.
