A corpse in the elevator: yellow in Palermo

Inside an elevator, blocked between two floors in a building in via Oreto in Palermo, the body of a woman was found. Francesca Marchione, 61, would have remained inside the compartment for several hours.

It was the residents who raised the alarm. The police are investigating the case.

It is not known whether the 61-year-old was blocked due to a blackout or a breakdown. "We didn't have any issues with light outages during the day," some residents in the building said. Some merchants, on the other hand, say that there would have been blackouts in the area. In fact, a bar and a market are closed. «The lift was stopped between two floors - adds a condominium - and with the doors open. That's why someone called 112 and then the firefighters.

The woman lived alone in the house. She may have died trying to force open the elevator doors stuck between two floors.
