In Florida, a homeless woman tragically lost her life while attempting to access a clothing donation box. The incident occurred on Friday when she found herself stuck inside the box as she tried to collect donated items.

Plantation Police Department officers were called at 6:45 a.m. on a report of a person stuck in the large, pink box in which charitable donations of clothing and shoes are left, NBC Miami reported.

The unidentified woman was found “partially stuck in the donation box” and police declared her dead at the scene, the outlet stated.

“At this time it looks like this is an accident, but our detective bureau is conducting a full investigation,” the Plantation Police Department stated, CBS Miami reported.THe

The victim appeared to be a middle-aged homeless woman who was attempting to retrieve donated clothing or shoes from the bin when she became fatefully stuck inside, WSVN reported.

Photos show the rectangular box being loaded up onto a flatbed truck and taken away from the scene of the death.

The donation box is just feet away from a Fort Lauderdale day care where parents arrived Friday morning to the surprising crime scene.

“I am really shocked,” one parent told that outlet. “I was wondering if something happened, if a pipe burst or something. I didn’t expect to hear a body.”

The victim will remain unidentified until authorities are able to notify her next of kin.
