Man Spends Four Days Trapped in a Toilet

Man's four days trapped in toilet

A man spent four days trapped in a toilet after the door handle broke.

David Leggat, 55, was unable to raise the alarm after becoming stuck in the toilets at Kittybrewster and Woodside Bowling Club in Aberdeen.

Mr Leggat had no mobile phone or food, and used tap water for refreshment and for heat.

He was only released when cleaner Cathy Scollay arrived and heard his cries for help. She told BBC Scotland: "He said, 'I have been locked in for four days.'"

Mrs Scollay added: "I went in to work as normal and a voice shouted out. I could not take it in.

"The handle had broken. He was a bit shaky, and was as white as a sheet."

Mr Leggat was said to be none the worse, despite his ordeal.

    I will be g**da***d if I would spend more that about a half hour locked in a toilet.
    A door can be kicked down, it is not too hard, I have kicked in several front doors of houses.

    Four days? It's all relative.

    I survived the formative years while my new bride discovered the true art of cooking.
    Anybody thus tested knows how time flies when you're trying to relieve that trapped feeling.

    I guess the door was locked from the outside with a dead bolt. He probably wanted to rob the place and thought he would hide in the bathroom until they closed...then couldn't get out, lol.
