A Northumberland County woman died after her arm got caught in the door of a clothing drop-off box while apparently removing bags from the container and she was left dangling with her feet off the ground.
Judith Permar, 56, of Mount Carmel, Pa., was standing on a step stool Sunday when it collapsed, breaking her arms and wrist and trapping her in the donation box, PennLive reported.
"She was fishing bags out and the ladder she was standing on gave way and she couldn't get her hand loose," said Chief Brian Hollenbush, Mount Carmel Township Police, when contacted by phone.
Permar died from blunt force trauma and hypothermia, according to the county coroner.
Bags with cloths and shoes that had been pulled from the bin were on the ground. Permar's black Hummer was nearby with the engine still running, said Hollenbush.

Makes you wonder how she got that Hummer
Not sure if that was hers... story said one was spotted at the dropbox... she needed to sell used clothing to pay for the Hummer’s gas.... </s>
That gas tank ain’t going to fill itself.
Driving a Hummer? From what I’ve seen, even 15-20 year old models go for no less than $15-20 thousand.
What’s going on in this country when someone driving one is stealing all those sacks of cloths from a charity at 2AM?
Or since it was probably NOT the first time, the universe was probably thinking "its time for some consequences...."
But why she was doing this at 2:00am in the freaking morning is kinda stange, I must admit.
and that’s why she only lived to 56.
I wonder how a hummer could run for 6+ hours....
Her demise was appropriately administered, IMO.
“...15-20 year old models go for no less than $15-20 thousand...”
-— Sounds like a quote from Bill Clinton :)
At least until we know the full story. She might be suffering from kleptomania. Nobody deserves to die in this manner for filching donated clothing from a donation box.
