Man is accidentally beheaded by elevator

An Indian worker was accidentally beheaded when his body got stuck inside the lift at a building under construction in Kuwait, a newspaper said on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old man put his head out of the elevator to speak to other workers when the lift door suddenly shut, squeezing his neck and prompting work mates to rush for his help, Alwatan Arabic language daily said.

“They workers struggled to open the lift door but they could not… suddenly the elevator fell down because of a technical failure… the worker’s head was severed off his body,” it said.
