LONDON (AP) — Police in London say a pop-up urinal has crushed a man to death in the city’s theater district.
Firefighters used a winch to free the man after he became trapped under a hydraulic urinal on Friday.
The Metropolitan Police force said that the man suffered crush injuries while working on the a telescoping urinal and “despite the efforts of emergency services,” he was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity wasn’t released.
The retractable urinals are dotted throughout London’s entertainment districts, stored below ground during the day and raised at night.
