A young woman has died after she fell three floors down an elevator shaft after she stepped through some open doors.
Clelia Ditano, 25, from Fasano, Italy, was found dead by her dad on Monday on top of the lift cabin 50 feet below the floor she fell from.
She died on impact once she fell on the lift roof and investigators believe the automatic safety locks that keep the doors closed until a lift arrives failed.
When her dad tried to call her he heard her phone ringing down the elevator shaft.
He said: ‘It was immediately clear to me that something had happened.
‘She was a sunny girl. She had many dreams, including getting her driving licence and being independent.
‘And, of course, getting married. Now those dreams have been shattered.’

A local added: ‘We assume that the locking system malfunctioned, as the door should only open when the cabin is on that floor.’
Clelia posted a selfie to social media in a black dress just hours before her death.
A friend posted: ‘That’s how I want to remember you, dancing under the speakers to our favourite music.
‘We experienced a lot, you were a great friend in every way.’
