London, July 29 (ANI): An Australian woman was trapped in her toilet for a week before being rescued.

The 67-year-old woman reportedly spent a week wedged between her toilet door and the bowl at her house in the eastern city of Ipswich, the Daily Express reports.

The fire fighters eventually removed the inward-opening toilet door from its hinges after a neighbour heard her cries for help.

However, the woman did not totally collapse.

A Queensland state government spokesman said that she was suffering from dehydration and was taken to a hospital following the ordeal. (ANI)
