Worker Dies inside Refrigerator as Blaze Ravages Yemen Restaurant
2010-12-09
[Yemen Post] A worker was found dead inside a refrigerator of a Turkish restaurant in Yemen's capital Sana'a after a fire broke out inside the restaurant, the Civil Defense said on Monday.

Fadhil Al-Samawi, 23, hid inside the refrigerator when the fire started on Sunday to die from smoke inhalation inside it, the Civil Defense said.

The blaze ravaged the restaurant and two nearby stores in the district of Al-Wahda, it said, adding that an initial investigation revealed an electrical fault was to blame.

The investigation is continuing.

#3  I've read that some people survived the Coconut Grove fire by getting into a walk in refrigerator.
It says he died of smoke inhalation. Refrigerators are usually sealed so he either didn't properly shut the door or had already sucked in so much smoke that it wouldn't have made a difference where he went.

#2  I theory, depending on the type of refrigerator and its airspace, that is not a bad idea, if the alternative is to be burnt up or suffocated. If it's a large, walk in freezer with lots of ice build up, that would be optimal.
