Police said they were called after 1:30 a.m. with reports of a woman stuck inside of a clothing donation box near Bloor and Dovercourt. When authorities arrived on scene, they had to cut a part of the metal box to get her out. Police and paramedics treated the woman, who has been identified by friends as Crystal, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

| #3 Worked for a dairy foods plant about a mile from the state asylum (Back before Reagan when "being committed" meant they could lock you up and throw away the key -- the asylum looked like Stalag 17 with high walls and barbed wire on top...). Everything had to be locked tight or we would get people sneaking into the refrigerated trailers... 37F beats 20F/sleet any time! ...So, bet she was just getting out of the cold. |
