Wheeee! Oh Crap

Another Darwin Award winner candidate, this time from Reno, NV.
From the Reno Gazette-Journal: A Reno man who died Wednesday when he fled authorities into a trash compactor has been identified as Rodney L. Wright Jr., 37.
About 11 a.m. Wednesday Reno Municipal Court marshals spotted Wright, who they thought may be wanted for misdemeanor arrest warrants, police said. He fled on his bicycle. Wright then ran from the officers after crashing his bike near the Truckee River Lodge on First and Ralston streets. Marshals lost sight of him and called off the search. But about 11:24 a.m., an employee of the lodge found Wright in the trash compactor and told police.
Police believe he entered the trash chute from one of the floors of the lodge and slid down into the compactor, which activated automatically when he entered. Wright was severely injured and after removing him from the compactor officers immediately began life-saving efforts, police said. An ambulance took him to a hospital where he was declared dead. An autopsy Wednesday showed Wright had injuries consistent with being crushed.  http://www.rgj.com/article/20120614/NEWS01/120614006/Reno-police-release-name-man-who-died-after-fleeing-into-commercial-trash-compactor?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
Clearly, it is sad for the man's family that he died, it is also good for the community that his DNA is eliminated from the DNA pool.  Sorry that the employee who found the crushed body had to be a witness to this guy's stupidity.
