MONTREAL—A woman was strangled Thursday after her scarf and then her hair got caught in the mechanism of a Montreal subway escalator as it rolled toward the platform.

A spokesman for the city’s ambulance service said he has never seen anything like it in his 30-year career.

“We see accidents in escalators, but I don’t recall a situation like this where somebody was physically trapped in the mechanism,” said Bob Lamle, a division chief for Urgences-sante.

The ambulance service has received several calls about people falling in the subway, he noted.

Police say the victim was a 48-year-old woman.

Shades of the 1927 death of dancer Isadora Duncan


Duncan's fondness for flowing scarves contributed to her death in an automobile accident in Nice, France, when she was a passenger in an Amilcar. Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, breaking her neck

She got scarfed up...literally.

Well that's one way to go. Curious how she managed to fall and not get up to begin with.

T'was a hijab, not a mere scarf.

Fokked up story.

Oh, just a dead muslim you say?

Complicated scarf is what I mean.

The media doesn't mention it because of the current cultural tensions caused by the PQ's proposed "Charter of values" that would ban the hijab in the public sector.

I don't have a problem with hijabs. A hijab is just a silk scarf wrapped around your head, not face. There was this muslim girl at work that wore one and she had a bangin' body and I have to say it was sexy as fuck.

The other one though, where the garb is wrapped around her entire face only leaving a little slit for her eyes, that one should not be tolerated.

What a tough way to go! I always as a kid was scared of escalators!

Remember going to see local guy Robert Hazard open for Ian Hunter at some club atmosphere on a snowy night in the sticks of Chester County PA! Great time!

They are definitely lacking in the Islamic super hero action figure category
