Woman rescued from inside outhouse toilet in Michigan

Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Michigan State Police responded to an Otsego County lake where a woman became trapped inside an outhouse toilet while trying to retrieve her Apple Watch.

The MSP said troopers from the Gaylord Post responded alongside the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Otsego County Emergency Medical Services when callers reported a woman shouting for help from inside an outhouse toilet near the DNR boat launch at Dixon Lake.

The woman told rescuers she had climbed into the toilet to retrieve her dropped Apple Watch and found herself trapped.

"The toilet was removed, and a strap was used to hoist the woman out to safety," the MSP said in a news release. "If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur."

The woman was successful in retrieving her watch.
