Mom beheaded in front of son as elevator door suddenly shut

A young mother was beheaded in front of her two-and-a-half year old son in a horrific elevator accident in her block of flats near Moscow, the Daily Mail reported.

Olga Tilinina, 20, was with her eldest child Maxim after taking him for a walk. She entered the lift on the ground floor with her son behind her when the elevator doors suddenly slammed shut, the report said.

Her legs were trapped between the doors, said neighbors.

The Russian mother pushed her son to safety but the lift then went up with her jammed half in-half out of the rising elevator.

Her head cracked against the ceiling of the lift doorway.

Olga was literally torn to pieces and 'her head was found on the ground floor, while the rest of her body was squeezed between the floors' before the elevator finally came to a halt on the second floor, said a report by television channel NTV.

An emergency services worker said: 'Her poor son witnessed this scene from hell.'

Minutes earlier Olga's husband Dmitry, 24, had used the same lift to take the couple's other child Egor, one, in from their family walk.

When a traumatized Maxim was reunited with his shell-shocked father, all he could say was 'Mama, leg.'

In a tribute to his dead wife, who in 2012 had been a contestant in a beauty contest in their home town of Dmitrov, he wrote on her social site: 'I have lost my most beloved and darling person.
