There's a certain irony to the fact that emergency services were able to save a pig trapped in a drain, but were unable to save a man trapped in a drain during the floods.

I think it is safe to say it was just that mans time, i mean how unlucky do you have to be to
a) get your foot stuck in a drain in the first place.. and
b) to get it stuck in a place where there water is going to get fatally high!?

He died of hypotherma, his head was still out of the water. The Emergency services prevaricated around not wanting to cut his foot off and ended up losing him.

If that was me I've have told the tw@ts to get my foot off.

Where did you read that - most stories are similar to the below, which suggest drowning :

Firefighters and divers battled for three hours to rescue the man, thought to be in his twenties, as water rose above his head in the Hessle area of Hull. He died shortly before 3pm.
