— Police in southern Alberta say the death of a woman found in a charitable donation bin was accidental. Medicine Hat police say officers and emergency medical personnel found the unconscious woman trapped in the opening of the bin early Monday morning. The 39-year-old woman was declared dead at the scene. Calls to remove or fix clothing donation bins intensified in January when a woman was found dead in a container in Toronto just a week after a man died after becoming trapped inside a clothing box in West Vancouver. Toronto-area company RangeView Fabricating said at the time it would no longer construct the metal containers until it could come up with a safer design.
