Soldier Sleeps In Fridge
To Escape Iraq Heat
8-3-3
- LONDON (Reuters) - A
British soldier serving in Iraq tried to escape from the sweltering heat
by sleeping in a walk-in fridge but ended up being treated for
hypothermia.
-
- The lance corporal, an army medic in his 20s, had
sought shelter from the blazing summer sun but was found asleep in a
dangerous condition by a colleague and was taken to hospital, the Daily
Mirror newspaper reported Saturday.
-
- The soldier told officers he had become trapped while
getting supplies but they didn't believe him, the paper said.
-
- "The lad was a bit of a fool to think he could have a
kip in a fridge and not suffer from pretty bad consequences," a fellow
soldier told the Mirror.
-
- "But it's so hot here that most people kind of
understand what was behind his bizarre logic."
-
- An army spokesman told the paper the soldier had
recovered but was embarrassed.
