Police have announced that a Colorado man who was reported missing in July and was found dead in an elevator car had pressed the emergency alarm twice but was never saved, according to multiple reports.
Isaak Komisarchik, 82, was found dead in a Denver apartment complex elevator car on Aug. 3, according the Denver Post. He had been reported missing on July 5 by family and had suffered from dementia.
During an investigation into his death, police discovered Komisarchik had pressed the elevator’s emergency alarm twice on July 6, the Channel 7 reports.
Humans created elevators. Humans plan to create robots and give them control over aspects of our lives.
I fear the same colossal stupidity that creates death trap elevators will lead to the creation of robots without any fail-safe provisions.
His family is going to own the apartment complex after the law suits.
Patients check in, but they don't check out if they're past the age they could pay taxes.
Elevator emergency buttons and traffic signal walk buttons aren’t connected to anything.
That’ll teach him to hit the emergency button twice . . .
Another example of why stairs are better for your health than elevators.
What kind of apartment complex has an elevator that is not used for a month? Sounds like BS.
Big Bang...?
It was in a parking garage that was closed for renovation.
Most likely several elevators with one put out of service for a long time. Or a building where the elevator is trash and tenants are used to taking stairs.
You’d be shocked how often maintenance crews cut the power without checking if anyone is inside. Assuming the person inside will just yell if they’re stuck. The old man maybe was too quiet and they forgot all about it
Thank you for pointing that out. Nobody used that elevator in a month? What the.....?
“That wasn’t an elevator — it was an Obamacare-approved clinic.”
‘Patients check in, but they don’t check out”
Sort of a ‘HOTEL CALIFORNIA’ health plan.
Press one for English, two for Spanish, three for Farsi....etc.
Pressed it twice.
Hmmmm.... start writing checks....
Now, check the staff on duty. Like are their green cards in order? The entry level staff at the care facilities are oftentimes clueless. It is NOT their fault, but the fault of the owners.
When I do fire inspections in buildings with elevators, I always check the phone or intercom to see where it goes. Sometimes I find it is dead. Sometimes it rings at the other end, but no one answers. One time I asked the elevator company guy who picked up the phone where I was calling from, and he had no idea. One time in a high-rise hotel, the elevator phones went directly to one of the guest rooms. If I lived or worked in a building with elevators, I’d make sure they worked.
Yup.... Something’s fishy. How did the other geezers get up and down in the building? If the elevator was down for an entire month, there must have been collateral deaths from stairway heart attacks.
Denver fire officials did not receive any emergency calls from the elevator Komisarchik was
found in during the time he was missing. MEI Total Elevator Solutions — which operates
the elevator — did receive the call, Channel7 reports. However, when the company notified
the apartment complex’s management, workers who checked the parking garage’s elevators
failed to check the car the call came from.
