A woman died Thursday morning after her scarf got caught in the escalator at the Fabre Metro station in Montreal.
The incident happened around 9:15 a.m. ET at an unsupervised, automatic entrance to the Metro station on the blue line.
"She got strangled… and the woman, aged around 30, passed away on scene,” said Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant of the Montreal police.
A witness told investigators that the woman's hair also got caught in the escalator after she bent down in an attempt to dislodge her scarf.

Unbelievable! Not you, the CBC!
They are so adamant about protecting Islam that not a single important fact like that will let them report truthfully!
Probably illegal!

Another version of this story has the woman as a muzzie and it was her headscarf that became entangled.
definitely Darwin worthy...
