A Kiwi nun who was trapped in a lift in Italy for three days drank her own urine to survive.
The 69-year-old nun from New Zealand became trapped in a lift in Rome on Friday, without food or water, TVNZ reported.
She was with her 58-year-old Irish companion at the
time. The lift became stuck after an electrical power failure.
The pair were eventually discovered by a cleaner, after calls to the Marist convent, where the women were trapped, went unanswered.
The two nuns, who were guests of the Marist Sister House, were the only people in the building over the weekend.
