A woman who also works at the hospital was on the elevator at the time and witnessed the accident, police said. Because of the malfunction, she was trapped on the elevator for 15 or 20 minutes before firefighters were able to reach her, police said.

Heard on the radio that this woman was in hysterics for those 15 to 20 minutes as the poor doctor's head was rolling around the floor of the elevator!

I can't imagine the horror of witnessing such a tragic and gruesome event. It's shocking enough just to read about it.

Just wait until someone tells her that if she had hit the emergancy stop he might have lived...

Big worker's comp claim coming....deservedly so. I can hear the claims adjusters now: "This is one for the record books."
