Elderly lady suffocates to death in biscuit hunting accident

An elderly woman was found dead in a wardrobe while hunting for biscuits her son had hidden from her.

Her son had hoped placing the biscuits on an out-of-reach shelf in the closet would help her health as she sufferedfrom diabetes.

On entering the wardrobe, the 84-year-old from Udine in northeastern Italy got stuck, reports Udine Today.

The coroner said she was suffocated to death as her own body weight pressed her against the hanged clothing.

Local firefighters were required to extract her body from the wardrobe.
