2 held after woman鈥檚 corpse found in lift
Print Edition
TWO maintenance workers have been detained in Xi’an, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province after a woman was found dead in an elevator a month after the power to it was cut off.
The body of the 43-year-old victim, surnamed Wu, was found on March 1, police in Gaoling District said.
Two employees of Shaanxi Kaiwen Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co were sent to repair a problem with the lift in a residential block on January 30, according to officials from the district government.
After identifying the nature of the problem, the men switched off the power to the elevator without first checking to make sure it was empty, the officials said.
They did not return to fix the problem until March 1. When they opened the doors, they found Wu’s body.
It has yet to be determined exactly when or how the woman got into the elevator and what caused her death, but the two workers have been detained for causing it due to gross negligence, the officials said.
Police said that they have ruled out foul play, but are investigating both the maintenance firm and the building’s property management company, Xi’an Huicheng Property Management.
