Chinese woman took up to a month to STARVE to death after becoming trapped in lift as horrified rescuers find scratches on walls next to body
Maintenance workers turned off the power supply after finding the elevator, pictured, was stuck, unaware that a woman was still inside

 
This story comes from the Daily Mail and is written by Joseph Curtis for the Mail Online.
I was interested in this story as the headline shocked me, especially with the emphasis on the word 'starve' which grabbed my attention. The story speaks of a 43 year old Chinese woman who was mistakenly trapped inside of a lift after the maintenance team cut off the electricity supply.
 
The story itself is brief, so much so that in order to boost content the story spoke of similar story about a woman, also in China, died from falling over an escalator in department store. The overall tone of the story is very questioning of Chinas health and safety system, even suggesting some 'accidents' such as this are the fault of corruption.
