UK soldier sleeps in fridge to escape Iraq heat LONDON (Reuters) A British soldier serving in Iraq tried to escape from the sweltering heat by sleeping in a walk-in fridge but ended up being treated for hypothermia. The lance corporal, an army medic in his 20s, had sought shelter from the blazing summer sun but was found asleep in a dangerous condition by a colleague and was taken to hospital, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported. The soldier told officers he had become trapped while getting supplies but they didn't believe him, the paper said. "The lad was a bit of a fool to think he could have a kip in a fridge and not suffer from pretty bad consequences," a fellow soldier told the Mirror. "But it's so hot here that most people kind of understand what was behind his bizarre logic." |
