quote: An 83-year-old woman was rescued by paramedics yesterday after somehow becoming wedged behind her toilet. The elderly woman was rescued about 2 p.m. yesterday, two days after becoming stuck behind her biffie inside her apartment at Fort Garry Place.
"Her whole body somehow became jammed behind her toilet," said Winnipeg Fire Platoon Chief Bob Wright. "It was one of those strange occurrences and you wouldn't have believed it even if you had a camera and had taken a picture."
After the water was turned off, Wright said firefighters were forced to pry bolts from the toilet's base and smash it to break her free from the make-shift porcelain prison.
