Brest resident falls victim to defective elevator
A 47-year-old man was crushed to death by an elevator in an apartment house in Brest. The man's body was discovered by his neighbors. Forensic experts established that the death was caused by massive head and body injuries. The prosecutor's office and experts with an elevator maintenance service are investigating the accident. The elevator is believed to have started moving as the man was walking in and the gate was still open. The elevator had always been in bad condition, as it used to automatically start moving or suddenly stop, said to the house's residents.
