According to Chinese media, including CCTV, Wei, a 59-year-old man living on the 17th floor of an apartment building in Kunming, Yunnan Province, was found dead in an elevator at around 8:30 p.m. on the 18th.
According to the investigation, the elevator that got on board to pick up the goods suddenly caused a mechanical malfunction and crashed to the second floor.
Soon after, the elevator lost control like 'rocket' and soared to the top 33rd floor.
The elevator collided strongly with the roof of the platform and Wei, who was riding inside, died of fatal head injuries.
The accident was believed to have been caused by an elevator malfunction.
The elevator was inspected in October 2023 and received maintenance in September last year.
Authorities are investigating to determine the cause of the accident and have ordered inspections of all elevators in the area.
