BRUSSELS (Reuters) – An inebriated Belgian woman died in a freak accident
when she ended up beneath a heavy grave stone at a cemetery, local news
agency Belga said Wednesday.
The 33-year-old was on her way home from a bar in the Belgian town of
Pulle in the early hours of Saturday when she took a short cut through the
cemetery.
But she urgently needed to relieve herself and crouched down between two
gravestones. As she lost her balance, she grabbed one of the stones which
gave way and landed on top of her.
The public prosecutor’s office said she died of suffocation as she was
unable to lift the heavy stone.
