An unusual and dangerous place to sleep has cost the life of a young woman in the Czech Republic.
She died in the press of a garbage truck after sleeping in a waste paper container, according to Czech media.
The garbage disposal emptied the large container in the morning and shortly afterwards heard screams from inside the vehicle, said a police spokeswoman.
The rescue workers who were called could no longer help the trapped woman.
In the meantime, the criminal police have started investigations into the identity of the dead and the exact circumstances.
The workers said they didn't see the woman looking into the container.
The accident happened in the mining and industrial town of Havirov, almost 300 kilometers east of the capital Prague.
