Another gruesome "death by elevator in a hospital" story happened here in Houston two years ago during tropical storm Alicia. Lots of flooding took place in the medical center and a woman was going down in a hospital elevator to move her car from the rising water in the parking lot. The electricity went out and she was trapped in the elevator and drowned. I can't imagine how desperate and terrified she must have been.... At least this doctor died quickly.

Didn't happen in the medical center or a hospital. It was a downtown office building/underground parking garage. It was a pretty gruesome thing though.

Yeah the Baylor Houston Hospital got flooded up to the second floor. Don't remember if anybody got hurt or died though.
