When the elevator door opened, the elevator had not leveled correctly and

elevator platform, but slipped with the upper portion of his body on the
elevator floor.
The elevator doors *tried* to close on him, and the elevator started to rise
as he struggled to get out.
The resident had just enough time to scream before he was decapitated.
His body fell into the elevator pit in the basement, so wrapped and tangled
in cables that it had to be cut into pieces to be removed.
Meanwhile his head rode the elevator up to the fifth floor where it greeted
a group of people waiting to get on the elevator on that floor.
How old are these elevators? How many systems had to fail for that to happen?
