A doctor lost his head a year or two ago. It was a plain horror movie. Can't remember where, maybe LA or Toronto (?).

I am not even going to Google for it now, it was so awful.

It was a hospital in Houston.

It was Dr. Hitoshi Nikaidoh in Houston, Texas:

Ms. Steinau told police the elevator had been out of service for a few days prior to to the tragedy, but at the time of the accident the "Out of service" sign had been removed. She had rung for the elevator (with the intent of going to the sixth floor) and had already stepped into it and pushed the button for her floor when Nikaidoh tried to get into the car as the door was closing. As soon as she saw he was trapped by the doors, Steinau tried to hit the emergency stop button but was unable to do so before the rising elevator had partially decapitated Dr. Nikaidoh. The elevator continued upwards, finally stopping between the fourth and fifth floors. Steinau was trapped in the car along with Nikaidoh's cranial remains until she was rescued by firefighters. She was treated in the hospital's emergency room for shock.

This was taken from Snopes. Snopes also mentioned a few other deaths by elevator and said that about 30 people per year die from elevator accidents.

I remember that. And the other passengers in the elevator were stuck inside with his head for quite a while before they were rescued.
