BANGKOK - A 46-year-old woman employed at a Bangkok company tragically lost her life after being trapped by a malfunctioning lift.

 

On 18th July at 1:45 pm, police officer Thanapol Manosorn of Samran Rat received a report of a fatal lift accident at a commercial building in Bangkok’s Pom Prap Sattru Phai district. Emergency services and the police attended the scene promptly.

 

The incident occurred in a four-story building comprising three adjoining units. This building houses a forklift spare parts business. On the mezzanine floor, authorities found the body of a woman, named as Ms. Koi (alias), aged 46. She was fatally trapped by the head between the lift and the wall.

 

Initial police enquiries revealed that people typically used the lift to transport goods. While Ms. Koi and a male colleague were using the lift from the second to the first floor, it malfunctioned. Her colleague managed to climb to safety, but Ms. Koi was tragically caught as she attempted to escape, reported Thai Rath.

 

The authorities will perform an autopsy at the Police Hospital before releasing the body to her family for funeral rites.
