A woman in Canada has died after she was found Tuesday morning partially inside a clothing donation bin, Toronto police said.

The department received a call around 1:40 a.m. and arrived to find the woman “injured and unconscious,” according to a tweet by the Toronto Police Operations Centre.

A spokesperson told NBC News that the woman, whose upper body was in the bin and had to be cut free, died at the scene. Police declined to release the woman’s name or age to NBC News.
