Bathrooms - Essex toddler gets head stuck in bathroom toilet

31/08/2007

A three-year-old had an unfortunate accident when his head became ensnared by a toilet training seat.

The young man's head became so firmly stuck in the toilet seat that emergency services had to be called to cut him free.

In fact, the Essex Fire and Rescue Service were called out swiftly to the boy's home in Laindon to remedy the toilet training incident.

A spokesman from the service told the BBC his take on events.

He explained: "We're always glad to be of service. Youngsters do this sort of thing from time to time."

Alexander Cummings is widely credited as patenting the first design for a modern day flush toilet while the term 'toilet' entered the English language in the mid 19th century.

Last week saw the discovery of a precious handgun in a portable toilet. The item was owned by Elvis Presley and stolen from a Memphis museum that was dedicated to the legendary rock and roll singer.
