Officers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, troopers from MSP and Otsego County EMS reportedly removed the toilet and used a strap to safely rescue the woman.
“If you lose an item in an outhouse toilet, do not attempt to venture inside the containment area. Serious injury may occur,” MSP wrote.
MSP did not disclose whether the watch was recovered or provide details about the woman’s injuries.
In 2022, a man jumped into an outhouse toilet to retrieve his phone and had to wait for three hours for help while naked, VICE reported. Another woman in 2022 also needed to be rescued after falling head-first into an outhouse toilet while trying to retrieve her phone, according to a press release.
