Man accidentally beheaded by elevator

2011-12-01

[Emirates 24/7] An Indian worker was accidentally beheaded when his body got stuck inside the lift at a building under construction in Kuwait, a newspaper said on Wednesday.
Ow. Maybe ow-ow-ow.
The 31-year-old man put his head out of the elevator to speak to other workers when the lift door suddenly shut, squeezing his neck and prompting work mates to rush for his help, Alwatan Arabic language daily said. "They workers struggled to open the lift door but they could not... suddenly the elevator fell down because of a technical failure... the worker's head was severed off his body," it said.

#9 Happens in places without inshallah maintenance, too.

Rather creepily, if you start to google "Houston doctor," "decapitated" is the third or fourth suggestion that comes up.
