Man dies after being entangled in Mich. car wash

WYOMING, Mich. (AP) -- An 18-year-old car wash employee died after becoming entangled in automatic brushes at the business, police said.
The body of Ricardo Alberto Martinez was found Friday night at the car wash in the western Michigan community of Wyoming, located near Grand Rapids, police told television stations WOOD and WWMT.
Police said Martinez was closing the car wash when a customer returned to have his vehicle washed again. After the vehicle entered the car wash, police said Martinez went inside and became entangled.
Another customer later found the body of Martinez, police said. Foul play wasn't suspected by police.

This seriously has to be one of the worse ways to die. I'd be pissed.
