A man has died after getting his head stuck under the footrest of his electronic seat at a Vue International movie theatre in the British city of Birmingham.
According to the Birmingham Mail, the man had dropped his phone and was trying to retrieve it from between the cinema's Gold Class seats at the end of the film.
The accident happened on March 9 at the Star City entertainment complex and the man died on March 16.
After he bent down, the reclining, electric seat's footrest clamped down on his head. He was attending the film with his partner, who reportedly became frantic as the man started to panic upon realising he was stuck.
Staff and other patrons at the cinema struggled to free him but the man suffered a cardiac arrest.
