Coroner: Woman Dies After Getting Stuck In Clothing Drop Box
February 7, 2017 9:00 AM

NATALIE, Pa. (AP) – A Pennsylvania woman has died after getting her arm caught in a clothing donation drop-off box.

Northumberland County Coroner James Kelley says 56-year-old Judith Permar died from a combination of trauma injuries she sustained in the accident and hypothermia.

The coroner says the Mount Carmel woman used a step stool to reach into the bin, and her left arm became stuck when the stool collapsed. She broke her left arm and wrist and couldn’t get free.

Investigators believe she went to the drop box about 2 a.m. Sunday. She was found dead more than six hours later.

The drop box is located along a highway in Natalie, a tiny village in Mount Carmel Township. That’s about 60 miles northeast of Harrisburg.

The coroner conducted an autopsy Monday.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Was she dropping things off or trying to retrieve something?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No. She was donating clothing but no one told her she had to take them off first. Expect warning labels to be added to those boxes shortly.

I'll have to look for more info, but you're right - it does appear she was trying to get stuff out of the box. Given the time of day, it's possible she was under the influence.

She was trying to steal clothing from a donation box, and got herself killed.  Evolution at work.

I no longer think time of day has any relevance in that

She should have just gone all the way in.  Walked around a little. Found some jammies.  Made a bed and slept it off.

There was something similar around here recently. A woman died in a clothing chute. After her boyfriend stuffed her in it.
