A man died in central London when he was crushed and stuck under a telescopic public urinal that he was working on. During a rescue effort at the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road, he was pronounced dead at Cambridge Circus.
Pop-up toilets are kept underground and brought out at night so that people can use them. At 13:05 GMT, people were sent to the scene to help.
The man was freed by fire crews using a winch. London Fire Brigade said that he was let out of the toilet at 15:40. Even though emergency services tried to help him, police said he was pronounced dead at the scene. His family has been told about it.

Seen in the news about a Telescopic/Hydraulic Urinal crushing a man in London. But, I’ve tried to search what the hell one is and can’t find anything. I’m guessing the above isn’t its proper name, just a slang term.
