Va. man trapped 3 days in outhouse

IVANHOE, Va. (AP) - For three days, Coolidge Winesett sat mired in
the 5-foot hole of a partially collapsed outhouse, alternately
yelling for help and trying to cope with the stench. "I tell you
what, it was hard to get one breath down there," Winesett, 75, said
Wednesday, a day after being rescued by a mail carrier who noticed
that Winesett's deliveries were still in the box and went looking for
him. Jimmy Jackson, the mail carrier, found no sign of Winesett at
his house or car. But Jackson spotted Winesett's crutch propped
beside the outhouse. See
