A MOTHER who had just given birth has died after being cut in half by a faulty hospital lift in Sevilla yesterday.
Her legs were left danging in the lift shaft after her head became wedged in the doors, and the lift began moving upwards.
Brother-in-law David Gaspar said: “It’s incredible. We still can’t believe what’s happened. Something has to happen. This cannot go unpunished.”
Junta health minister Marina Alvarez called the accident ‘quick, unusual and tragic’ as she said the lift had undergone checks on August 12 and announced an immediate investigation.
