He stumbled back and his head slipped between the rails of a drying rack. He tried to push himself free with his arm, but the plastic tightened around his neck. The wet clothes hanging on the rack added even more pressure. His cries were muffled as the rails squeezed tighter, cutting off his air. And when he was found, he was laying dead on the floor, still trapped inside. The coroner said the accident was rarer than being struck by lightning.
