Florida’s Plantation (WSVN) According to reports, a homeless lady died after becoming trapped while attempting to gather clothes items from a donation drop box in Plantation, Florida.
First responders responded quickly after receiving an emergency call about a body in a roadside clothing and shoe donation drop box in the 8300 block of West Federated Roadway.
The woman was declared dead after authorities discovered her partially buried in the donation box.
The pink donation box in question was seen on 7News cameras, roped off by crime scene tape and a tarp that covered what looked to be the victim’s body.
The fact that there is a daycare only a few feet away adds to the terrifying discovery.
The news shook the parents.
One parent remarked, “I am truly shocked.” I wanted to know if there was a pipe burst or whatever. I was surprised to hear a corpse.
Investigators said the middle-aged homeless woman died from asphyxia after becoming trapped inside the trash while trying to retrieve contributions.
As of Friday afternoon, authorities stated that they would not be disclosing the woman’s identify since they have not yet told her nearest of kin.
