Andy Polakowski was the last of 24 people to enter the elevator on the third floor of his dorm room at Ohio State University. As he attempted to enter the service brake failed and the elevator began to descend while its doors were still open. He tried to jump out of the way and back into the lobby, but he was caught. Andy was crushed between the top of the car and the lobby floor. He died from his injuries.

In an investigation by the Ohio Department of Commerce revealed that the elevator’s capacity was supposed to be 3,150, but during a test the elevator’s brake failed at 2,500. Also found was that the brake-tension spring had been permanently set at its maximum adjustment and the load-weighing device was disconnected.

On behalf of Andy, his parents sued the university. The plaintiffs stated that the brake was improperly adjusted and maintained and that the accident was foreseeable the dorm’s elevators were slow moving and students frequently squeezed onto already full cars. they also said that the elevator should have been equipped with a device that would have prevented it from operating while overloaded and also should have had a rope brake, which would have prevented the car from dropping if the service break failed.

The bodies of three people, a U.S. Teen Alexis Uriel Marron, a 21 year old Mexican man and a 24 year old Mexican man (names unknown), were found in the trunk of a burned-out car on the side of a rural road in western Mexico on Christmas Eve.

Reports say robbery as a possible motive because none of the men’s possessions were found in the car.

U.S. State Department spokesman Noel Clay said the agency was working with embassy officials to get more information.

A memorial service for Marron was held Tuesday evening in his home town of Rolling Meadows.
