A passer-by discovered the body of a woman in a container for old clothes in Weinstadt near Stuttgart. The 26-year-old was believed to have died in an accident, the police said on Monday. It is likely that she climbed into the container in a parking lot to take out used clothes.

"Here she got stuck in the unloading flap of the container and was no longer able to free herself from her predicament," said a police spokesman. On Saturday morning, a pedestrian found the dead woman and immediately called the emergency services.

According to the SWR, the fire brigade freed the woman from the container. However, an emergency doctor could only determine her death. There is currently nothing to indicate that other people were involved in the woman's death.
