A Pennsylvania woman whose arm got caught in a clothing donation drop-off bin was found dead after she was left dangling for more than six hours through the night, an autopsy revealed.
Judith Permar, 56, of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, was found dead at 8.30am Sunday after her arm got lodged in a collection bin when the step stool she was using collapsed underneath her.
Pemar was fishing bags out of the bin, some of which were found littering the ground, Chief Brian Hollenbush toldPhilly.com.
Permar was pulling bags out of the collection bin along Route 54 in Natalie, a tiny village about 60 miles northeast of Harrisburg, Hollenbush said.
The 56-year-old woman who is described as short, brought her own stool to reach the opening on Sunday morning, the coroner said.
