Isaak Komisarchik, 82, was last seen alive on July 5.
Nearly a month later, his decomposing body was found in an inoperable elevator at the Woodstream Village apartments in Denver after tenants complained to management about an awful smell coming from a parking garage area that was under renovation, CNN affiliate KMGH reported.
Denver police are investigating what went wrong -- particularly after police determined Komisarchik tried to summon help by pressing the elevator's emergency button at least twice on morning of July 6, police spokesman Doug Schepman told CNN.

Greystar Management Services is investigating, the company told CNN in a statement.
"We are saddened by the tragic loss of life and extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Komisarchik's family and friends," Greystar Management Services said in the statement. "The elevator cab where he was found is located in a parking garage that is under renovation construction and not currently in active use. We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident with the local authorities."

The poor man probably died of dehydration. What a horrible way to go.
Unless you’re Terri Schiavo.
Then it’s peaceful and serene.
Life Alert might have helped. This is a sad story.
How sad.Well,at least it can be said that his heirs have surely won the lottery.
Going Up?
Going Down?
Yeb would no doubt approve.
“Denver police are investigating what went wrong — particularly after police determined Komisarchik tried to summon help by pressing the elevator’s emergency button at least twice on morning of July 6, police spokesman Doug Schepman told CNN.”
That means he pushed the Emeegency Button somewhere between two and two million times.
Not funny.
.
Bet you are right on that. When his relatives get ahold of those records.... this is going to be a very expensive situation for several parties, I expect.
Terrible. How’d he get in if it was inoperable? When we turn off our elevator at work, it locks and no one can even get in it.
“...somewhere between two and two million times.”
LMAO!
I’d kill myself if I had to listen to non-stop elevator music for over a month. Talk about torture.
“At lease two times....”
That’s good lawyer talk.
Very accurate, but very unclear.
I’m assuming that the “inoperable” elevator was operable enough for the doors to close, trapping the man inside. Were there no signs or barricades? Was the man suffering some kind of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s?
<Were there no signs or barricades? Was the man suffering some kind of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s?
I wondered about that. If the site wasn’t being used (hence not finding the body for weeks), how did he get there? Why was he there? Still sad, nonetheless.
This freaks me out. There was a similar case in China a while back. I try not to use elevators if I only have to go up a few stories.
Worst.....Twilight.....Zone......Episode.....EVER!!!
Better call Saul!
`Devil’: a movie about a group of people trapped on an elevator with Satan. He isn’t very nice.
