I believe "strangled to death" is redundant.

"Authorities suspect Portillo was drinking before the accident. A near-empty bottle of Korean whiskey was found in his pocket."
Yet another reason for me to remain a teetotaler.

"either sitting or laying down on the escalator when his hood became caught at the bottom of the escalator, officials said."
I bet the family sues.

Something similar happened on a DC metro escaltor years ago. A grandmother had her grandkids and the long winter scarf of one got caught in the treds and the child strangled.

I'm lost. How does your HOOD get caught in an escalator? How do you ride an escalator lying down?

Portillo's hood was too tight around his neck to remove Sheesh...doesn't anybody carry a pocket knife anymore?
It is one of the most effective ways to interface with and control your immediate environment in so many ways.

How do you ride an escalator lying down?Apparently, first you consume a bottle of Korean whiskey.

Authorities suspect Portillo was drinking before the accident. A near-empty bottle of Korean whiskey was found in his pocket...Well, knock me over with a feather.
To: ambrose
Portillo's hood was too tight around his neck to remove . . . And no one had a knife with which to free him. Probably because it's illegal to carry them in Boston. Thanks a lot, libs: You killed this man.

The way libs have set about rendering people useless and defenseless is amazing!

Spyderco Delica, fully serrated. Feel naked without it clipped to my pocket. Hate flying now, as a result.

What do they cook in a sushi bar?

Probably because the Dept. of Homeland security has outlawed pocket knives on transit systems. </sarcasm>

Escalator danger aside, you'd think Korean Whiskey would be enough of a reason not to drink.
