Man crushed to death by telescopic urinal while he worked

A man who became trapped underneath a urinal in central London this afternoon, has died.

 

The workman had been operating on a "telescopic urinal" at Cambridge Circus, outside the Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue this afternoon, Jan. 27, when he suffered "crush injuries", police said.

 

Efforts to rescue him from the structure went on for more than an hour-and-a-half. Sadly, he didn't survive.

 

This model of hydraulic urinal, designed to stop public urination, is stored beneath the pavement during the day and lifted up to street level for people visiting at night.
