A woman who died after falling face-first into a recycling bin and wasn't noticed until her husband came home had become stuck in a position in which she couldn't breathe, a Toledo, Ohio, coroner said.I will grant that the most likely explanation is that this episode is nothing more than a horrid accident that has left Sheila's family bewildered and grieving. However, since she isn't around to tell us what really happened, there is a sliver of a chance that this was no accident at all!
Sheila Decoster, 62, was inside the bin for several hours before she was found on Friday, said Lucas County deputy coroner Diane Barnett. Her husband saw her legs sticking out of the container that sits alongside their porch.

For all we know, Decoster may have been a devout recycler and simply decided it was time to recycle herself. If so, her intentions were thwarted when authorities took it upon themselves to remove her from the bin.
All joshing aside, why don't we recycle dead human bodies? It would be a way for each of us to give back to the earth in the best way possible. When plants and animals in the wild die and decay, they provide new life to other forms. I don't see why it should be any different for humans!
Sky burials and organ donations!!
