A mother in Mexico plunged to her death when an elevator door opened on an empty shaft, Latin Post reports. The woman reportedly attempted to take the elevator at a building in Portal Corregidora, at the center of Moroleón in Guanajuato state, at around 9 a.m. on February 6. The report said the woman did not notice that the elevator car was not in place when she stepped through the opened door.
