A Boston University professor was stabbed to death by an elevator in his apartment apartment building.
“My wife said what she saw was like hanging a woman’s hand on her package,” Eric Carmichael, a resident of the building, told the local Fox-TV affiliate of Horror on Monday evening, killing French lecturer Carrie O’Connor, 38.
One person who witnessed the accident had to be taken to hospital for injuries.

Resident Lena Scorzoni told ABC-TV’s Associated Press that I heard someone bring out a package in the air, and then I heard an ungodly scream.
“Then we ran outside, and we saw a gentleman who was clearly in trouble. He was screaming and hyperventilating, ‘She’s dead! She is dead! ”
A source told The Sun, “He saw things that no one should ever see.”
O’Connor had just moved into a building on Commonwealth Avenue a few weeks ago and was coming to the elevator with a bus on the first floor at 5:15 p.m.
Scorzoni told CBS that the man who witnessed the accident “was helping [O’Connor] With a bus in the building, and he was going up the stairs, and he said to her, ‘Hey just be careful’, because … you have to pull the door forward and then press the button. ‘
“If you have something in there, it can trigger the sensor,” she said of the elevator, which she described as “old-fashioned.” “[The witness] Anything that believes [O’Connor] The sensor was trying to get there and then it started moving. “
Residents said the roof of the elevator car was visible from the lobby after the incident.

“The car was going to go down at least halfway,” Scorzoni said.
Aut Topsy showed that O’Connor died of “traumatic breathing.”
Her profile on Boston University’s web site says she graduated with a BS degree from Virginia Tech, an MA degree from Middlebury College Ledge and a PhD in French Studies at Louisiana State University.
The Massachusetts Agency, which is responsible for monitoring elevator safety, said the elevator underwent inspection at the 1920 building last year, according to a local NBC station. I don’t understand how old the elevator is.
