  • Drunk Student Crushed To Death By Hydraulic Truck After Falling Asleep In A Wheelie Bin

    We may have found a story about the worst hangover in recorded history. Canadian Masters’ student, Garret Elsey, had only just arrived at Bristol University when he decided to get a few drinks on his first night out. What began as a tame night of pizza, beer and jagermeister soon became a stomach-churning disaster.

    He had only just dropped off his bags at student accommodation when he went out to meet an old friend. They had six drinks at a pub while watching football, and another six while jolling at ‘Mbargo’ nightclub – not enough to send  you to hospital, but enough to make you consider making a wheelie bin your temporary home.

    Which is what Garret did, after he was kicked out by a bouncer who claims that “his feet weren’t holding him properly.”

    The next morning at around 7:15 AM, three binmen arrived on the scene to go about their usual business. Truck driver Kenneth Parsons reversed the truck down the road while workmate David John Knap guided him. Colleague Paul Fripp then lined up the three bins that were to be emptied into the truck – one of which still contained the very hungover (and possibly hypothermic) Garret Elsey.

    Once all three bins had been lifted and emptied into the truck, the crushing process began automatically.

    The binmen continued on their rounds as normal before heading to the New Earth Refuse Solutions dump near Avonmouth. And when the truck was being emptied there, out plopped a very discombobulated Elsey. 

    Pathologist Dr Amanda Jeffery said he had very few cuts a bruises. He apparently only had ‘pin point’ haemorrhages in his eye lids and lips (oh, and his head and neck were ‘compressed’). “The injuries appear to have been caused in life,” she added. A post-mortem examination found high levels of alcohol in the Elsey’s bloodstream and that he also showed early signs of hypothermia.

    The levels were 144 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of blood. As a reference point, the legal driving limit is 80.
