You don't want to die in a pop-up urinal accident. There are many ways to die and that could be one of the worst. Unfortunately, it happened to a guy in London.

This would be awful. There are no shortage of ways to die out there and this might be one of the worst. According to Metro, 60-year-old Kevin Holding died in February 2023 when the pop-up urinal he was working under collapsed. Now, his long-time partner Katrina Woods has started a legal battle against his employers, Hi-Tech Washrooms Solutions, and is suing for roughly $200,000. Sounds like there are many of these pop-up urinals in London that rise from the ground. Metro says there was a failure with its hydraulic system due to corrosion and it fell through and crushed him killing him nearly instantly.

The company is denying liability suggesting he contributed to his own death and that he was negligent because he failed to take care of his own safety.

The case has yet to be decided in court but thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. Hopefully they're able to come to a decision soon and end the case that's been going on for a while it sounds like. This would be a scary way to go! Be careful if you work a job like this or something that could be dangerous.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
