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.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank.
I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat.
I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
