A man in Birmingham, England, died after he reportedly got his head trapped in a reclining movie theater seat while searching the floor for his cellphone.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been made public, was watching a movie at Vue Cinema in Birmingham's StarCity complex on March 9 when he dropped his phone between two of the theater's luxury "Gold Class" reclining seats, according to the Birmingham Mail.
When the man bent down to retrieve his phone, his reclining seat's electric footrest reportedly clamped down on his head, trapping him beneath it.
Frantic moviegoers attempting to rescue the man eventually broke the footrest to free him, but the stress of the incident sent the man into cardiac arrest.
