Man’s body found in Westfield charity bin in NSW

A passer-by saw legs hanging out of the bin, with the body wedged in the chute.

A man has died after trying to retrieve clothes from a charity bin on the NSW Central Coast, when he became trapped inside the clothes chute.

It is understood the man was using a bicycle to prop himself up and reach into the chute when he was discovered by a passer-by at about 4.25am.

The bike then slipped, leaving him trapped half in and half out of the charity bin near Westfield Tuggerah where he was later found.
