Death by rubbish truck

Too drunk to go home, a teacher passed out in a wheelie bin and was crushed to death in a rubbish truck.

A teacher who fell asleep in a wheelie bin after a pub crawl was crushed to death when it was emptied into the machinery of a refuse truck.

The body of Scott Williams was found among rubbish when the truck was emptied more than 24 hours later.

Mr Williams, 35, is thought to have climbed into the large communal bin - which is the size of a small skip - to sleep off an evening's drinking in Brighton.
