LANSING - A 53-year-old Lansing man died after getting stuck in a clothing donation bin on Tuesday night, according the Lansing Police Department.

Police were called to the Kent Deluxe Cleaners, 2911 S. Washington Ave., around 10:30 p.m. after getting a call that a man was stuck in a clothing donation bin with his legs dangling on the outside. The cleaners was closed at the time.

The man was stuck in the bin by his arm and neck, and the Lansing Fire Department freed him by cutting the metal container. The unnamed man was unresponsive when he was removed from the bin and transported to Sparrow Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Lansing Police Information Officer Robert Merritt said it appeared the man, who is not being named until his family is notified, was trying to gain access to the bin and simply got stuck.

Merritt said that police are not treating the death as suspicious.
