IRON MOUNTAIN, MI - A woman who had climbed into a dumpster outside a Goodwill store to look at items died when she fell head-first into a deep area of the container and was accidentally asphyxiated.

Police have identified the woman as Shelley Bowman, 59, of Iron Mountain. Her body was found about 8:55 a.m. Tuesday outside the Goodwill store on South Stephenson Avenue in this Upper Peninsula town.
