Mover Falls Down Elevator Shaft

A deadly fall down an elevator shaft in the Bronx.

A couple was moving into a new apartment -- when a man stepped onto an elevator that wasn't there.

Police say 35-year-old Joseph Ryan and his wife were moving into the building. They were apparently carrying a matress into the elevator.

Eyewitness is told the elevator doors opened, but the elevator was not there. Ryan, unaware of this, backed into the elevator without looking and he fell.


EMS rushed him to the hospital but he was pronounced dead a little after 1 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Police are now investigating.
