           Not the way you want to exit an elevator.

In Istanbul's Gaziosmanpaşa district the night before last at about 
eleven-fifteen, Ersin Öztürk (64) boarded the elevator in his 
apartment building one floor below ground level.  But when the
elevator reached the ground floor a problem occurred. The building's
technicians were alerted and began to try to extricate Öztürk from
the stuck elevator. 

However (!), as Öztürk attempted to leave the elevator he fell into
the elevator shaft and landed 30 meters below on the fifth below-
ground floor.  Firefighters arrived and worked for three hours to
rescue Öztürk but when they reached him he was already dead. 

The unnamed building technician, who was at the scene when the 
incident happened was taken to a police station to give a statement.
