According to reports, Larsen became sick almost immediately because the toilet, which was not connected to the sewer, contained a large waste tank that was emptied only once a month.How his friend, who had dropped the phone down there by accident while urinating, managed to convince him to actually climb down inside the tank to retrieve it remains a mystery.

"I did not think twice," said Berntsen. "I panicked because I hate confined spaces. It was damn disgusting - the worst I have experienced. There were animals down there too."

Firefighters finally managed to rescue him from the toilet after an hour spent trapped inside.
