At the scene of the community, the child's family showed the surveillance video to the reporter. At about 18:26, the child pressed the button on the second floor of the elevator, but the elevator did not stay on the second floor, but suddenly rose to between the 6th and 7th floors, and the door was closed. The child rang the alarm bell, slapped the elevator door and pressed the "emergency call" button for help, but did not get any response.
The child rescued himself in the elevator and pried open the car door and the elevator door on the 6th floor with his own long-handled umbrella.
At about 18:34, the child got out of the car from less than half a meter high. In this way, he accidentally fell to his death......
The elevator in the community often breaks down and the police have intervened.
The boy's family members said in the rights protection group, "All owners, please help to protect the human rights of the owners of the community. The elevator broke down, there was no prompt, and the power was cut off, which led to my son's death at the age of 13. Please owners help our family to uphold justice. I am the owner of Building 11... Yesterday I went to see the camera of the elevator and only found my son's umbrella. The elevator in my building was broken a few days ago, no one came to repair it. It was not until yesterday that my son had an accident that someone was sent to repair it. I asked the security guard to open the door. When I saw that my son had an accident, I asked them to carry the people up first, but they dragged them up for a while. The police came, but the people disappeared. Look, no one dealt with such a property......"
It is understood that the elevator in the accident broke down on May 1, and someone came to repair it on the 2nd, but it was not repaired. However, the property did not post any elevator failure notice or take measures such as power failure.
Some owners said that the elevators in the community have been out of order for more than ten years, and even if they are repaired, they will soon break down again.
The child's uncle, Mr. Lin, questioned the way the property owner maintained the elevator. He believes that, first of all, the elevators in the community have a long service life, and the property has not fulfilled its due maintenance responsibilities, resulting in many failures of the elevators, and the routine maintenance before the May Day holiday has not been carried out; secondly, the property at the time of the incident The security personnel can see the abnormal situation in the elevator through monitoring, but there is no feedback; moreover, the emergency help button in the elevator fails, and the property owner should also bear the responsibility.
After the incident, the property staff has disappeared.
At present, the police have been involved in the investigation.
