Man shuts shop, goes to toilet... to die

An Ethiopian vegetable dealer in Saudi Arabia shut his shop and told friends he was going to the toilet. Three days later, he was found dead inside the toilet.

After waiting for several hours for the unnamed dealer to return to his shop, friends had decided to go to his house but they found it shut.

“After three days, they told the police, who went to his house and smashed the door…they found him dead inside the toilet,” Okaz newspaper said in a report from the southern town of Khamis Mushait on Thursday.
