What a Way to Go ...

17 Sep 2010 - Most us aim to have some control over lives, but we rarely can control our death. People die in all kind of extreme circumstances, but the recent death of a Hong Kong cleaner is probably one of the most unfortunate examples in quite some die. The poor man was doing his duties and cleaning the halls of one of Hong Kong's high rise building, but slips when throwing garbage into the refuse chute and tumbles 19 floors down. He is seriously injured, but - as autopsy later shows - survives. However, he looses consciousness and gets buried in the trash. Hidden in the trash, he is loaded onto a rubbish truck and taken to a refuse transfer station, where his body is not noticed. Instead, he is dumped on a landfill site, where he is later found after his employer alarms the police.
