Three Die Retrieving Phone from Latrine

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Three Kenyans died trying to retrieve a mobile phone that slipped down an open-pit latrine while its owner answered a call of nature, a newspaper reported on Friday.

Anxious to recover her phone, the owner in the coastal town of Mombasa offered 1,000 shillings ($13.09) to anyone who would recover it, the Daily Nation said.

Well over half the Kenyan population of 30 million people lives on less than $1 a day.

The first to try -- a 30-year-old radio technician -- failed to resurface after disappearing down a ladder into the latrine.

His friend went after him but slipped and fell. The third casualty, trying to rescue the others, was hauled out of the pit by neighbors after he inhaled the fumes and lost consciousness.

The man was rushed to hospital but died on the way.

"The fumes inside must be extremely poisonous considering the short time it was taking to disable the retrievers," acting Mombasa police chief Peter Njenga was reported as saying.

The Daily Nation said police prevented a fourth man from climbing into the latrine and the search for the phone was eventually abandoned.

I used to live on a farm, and alway heard the storeis about farmers climbing down in a empty used pisstank (from the animals) and died from the fumes, so it could be true - but i wouldent bet on it.

Is it like a septic tank?

iroc409 · 03-14-2003, 04:58 PM

no.... a latrine is a toilet, but in this case sounds more like an outhouse, or porta-pottie.

$13.09, tho, that's a good deal!
