A Staten Island woman who climbed into a clothing drop box suffocated and died inside after the box’s metal door closed on her head and trapped her yesterday, cops said.
Melissa Mazzeo, 51, crawled into the large metal box in Sunnyside at about noon — in an apparent attempt to steal the donated clothing.
Mazzeo was caught in the box’s opening when the door swung shut on her head as she tried to climb out, cops said.
She died with her head outside the box and her body still inside.
