The woman was alone in the lift when its wire snapped, leading to a free fall, the official said, citing preliminary findings.

The woman was alone in the lift. She was admitted to Felix Hospital but died during treatment,” the police said in a statement.
The incident took place around 4:30 pm and the woman passed away after an hour in the hospital.
“The woman had injuries on the back of her head and soma abrasion on her elbows, which appears to have been caused due to the fall of the lift. There was no pulse and her eyelids were dilated when she was brought to the hospital, suggesting a possible cardiac arrest because of the suddenness of the event,” a doctor of the Felix Hospital told PTI.
Attempts were made to resuscitate the patient but were unsuccessful in reviving her, the doctor added.
Meanwhile, hundreds of residents of Paras Tierra came out in the society’s complex to protest the incident and upkeep of common services, like the management of the lifts.
