Man found naked inside wall of New York state theatre

A man has been rescued after being trapped inside the walls of a theatre in Syracuse, New York state. Firefighters were called at about 07:30 local time (11:30 GMT) after someone was heard banging on the wall and pleading for help.

It is believed the man was stuck inside a crawlspace for two days. Rescuers cut through the theatre's walls and found him naked, local media said. He is being treated at a local hospital.

In a statement on Facebook, Syracuse fire department said it was not clear how he'd gained access to the crawlspace behind the wall. John Kane, deputy chief of Syracuse fire department, told local US media that the man hid in a crawlspace for two days and became trapped after he fell inside the wall of the theatre's male bathrooms.

Police said the man appeared to be suffering from a mental illness and would not be charged or identified.

Cops don't want to deal with mentally ill people. Much rather let them loose and let someone else have the problem.

The Cask of Amontillado.

I don't want to describe it, because *spoilers!*

If you've read the story, "amontilladophilia" is really funny.
