A Chinese woman in Xi’an, a city in western China, was trapped in an elevator for a month and starved to death. Maintenance men had taken the elevator out of service, but did not check it for occupants first. [And her family reportedly decided not to search for her when she was missing.]

Singapore has a different problem with elevators: some locals use them as public restrooms. Many elevators now have UrineDetection Devices that, when activated, lock the elevator shut. When the authorities arrive, they arrest the micturator.
