Man Falls to His Death In Tenderloin Elevator Shaft, Two Arrested

elevator%20shaft.jpg

In the Tenderloin on Saturday night, three men were heatedly arguing in an apartment building over on the 400 block of Jones Street (at Ellis). During the fight, one man died after he suspiciously fell down an elevator shaft, landing on an elevator car several floor sbelow. So far the details are sketchy. Although the deceased is still unidentified (as well as the two men arrested in connection), he's described as being "in his 40s."

Don't most elevator doors have locking mechanisms for when the car is on another level? Seems like these things should be checked more closely, especially in the older buildings in the TL.

Anyway, SFPD have declined to give additional details about the gruesome and unfortunate incident. We'll update you with more info as it comes in.

"Seems like these things should be checked more closely, especially in the older buildings in the TL."

why would they check more closely on a district famous for its human and urban decay?

although I do agree that it is a shame.... but the tl has been like this for decades.....

rest in power twilight... you were and will always be one of the best friends I ever met on the street.......
