Woman dies after hijab, hair get tangled in Montreal escalator
MONTREAL — A woman in her 30s is dead after her headscarf and hair became caught in a subway-station escalator.
A bystander found the woman lying at the base of the escalator at Fabre metro station in east-end Montreal around 9:15 a.m.
He alerted transit workers, who called police.
When first responders arrived, the woman was unresponsive.
"We tried to perform resuscitation on site, but we weren't able to save her," paramedic Bob Lamle told QMI Agency.
The exact circumstances of the woman's death weren't immediately clear, but Montreal police spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant said it appeared "her headscarf and her hair got stuck in the escalator."
"Was she strangled by her scarf or was she the victim of an illness before falling? It's too early to say," Brabant added.
Police shut down the metro station for the investigation

“...why didn’t she just slip it off, tear it off, or cut it off...”
We had a Somali muzloid intern for a while (I can ASSURE you I didn’t hire her). Once a lock of hair came out of her headscarf and she was paniced/humiliated and made a BIG whiney deal of it. She was alone in her cubicle but we all heard about it...
It is possible the subway woman would rather die than let people - especially infidels - see her hair.
I’ve had some painful occurences when I wasn’t paying attention to where my hair was or hadn’t properly put it up when working with dangerous tools.
Why did I think: “Timing light, dwell meter, fan belt.”?
Be safe,

“Being Muslim is her choice.”
Islam isn’t known for being overly tolerant of apostates.
Didnt say it was. Still a choice.
