A man at a factory in Haripur, Pakistan, was killed in March when an elevator at the site fell on top of him, Dawn reports. Officials say the victim was cleaning space under an elevator at the factory, a biscuit manufacturing plant, when the lift fell on top of him. The victim suffered head injuries and was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. The factory management department told police the death occurred after the elevator fell, but the cause of the incident was not immediately determined.
