A South African teen was decapitated by a goods elevator when he stuck his head inside to see why it wasn't working. The elevator suddenly began working, pinning the boy, and decapitating him.
Terrence Stadler, 17, had only been working in the Cape Town shopping centre for three days when the accident occurred. His brother Taswell, who was also working at the store, told reporters what was witnessed.
"The lift suddenly shot up and ripped his head open," he said. "I just heard shouting and screaming, and when I saw the woman covered in blood I knew my brother was dead."
