Im guessing she died a gruesome death and the person writing the story didnt know how to report it.
I wonder how many stories are finished by machines? Often they make no sense in any other way.
UNGODLY SCREAM Boston woman crushed to death when old fashioned elevator suddenly dropped and ripped arm off
https://www.the-sun.com/news/1477997/boston-elevator-woman-crushed-death/
SUN is a British tabloid...Not afraid of “offending” people...
Reading another site, it says she was trying to get a package in the elevator when it suddenly fell to the first floor, taking her with it. We can surmise she was injured in the fall, or by being crushed at the outset, leading to lung or throat damage, followed by asphyxiation.
Horrible any way you slice it, but this article is an abject mess done by a 3rd grader.
