A huge pile of clothes collapsed on a Hong Kong woman and buried her under her in her bedroom. This was reported by the South China Morning Post.
The body, covered with things, was discovered by the son of the deceased. Ambulance personnel who arrived at the scene stated her death. The police conducted a preliminary investigation, but did not reveal anything suspicious.
In the bedroom of the deceased, huge heaps of clothes and various junk were piled up, rising from floor to ceiling. Because of the mess, she had to sleep not on the bed, but on the floor. According to investigators, the accident happened when things collapsed and buried a sleeping woman underneath.
