A man has died after his head became wedged under the electronic footrest of a cinema's "Gold Class" seat.
Operator Vue International said an investigation at its Birmingham StarCity venue was under way. The man died, it said, on Friday - one week after the incident.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said it was called to reports of a patient in cardiac arrest and crews managed to restart the man's heart before taking him to hospital.
The Birmingham Mail reported it happened after the man bent down to retrieve a phone dropped between Gold Class seats at the end of a film.
He was only freed, it said, when the footrest was broken by those trying to help.
That's the trouble with those 'Gold' seats, they're indestructible.
