A 56-year-old fell to her death upon stepping out of her car and slipping down an open maintenance hole on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. The woman in question died on Monday night and was identified by family members as Donike Gocaj, from Briarcliff Manor, a commuter belt area north of New York City.
Police say she parked her Mercedes-Benz SUV at West 52nd and Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan just before 11.20pm. She had stepped out of the car and directly into the maintenance hole in front of the Cartier mansion. Gocaj fell down about 10ft (3m), and steam caused her to go into cardiac arrest. She was rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
THAT is the pure definition of a bad day. How many lawyers will be lined up outside her apartment? Juss' sayin'...
Scalded to death is a hell of a way to go. Still don't know who she is other than rich.

Has some merit.
I wonder what the scrap value is of a manhole cover?
ReplyDeleteProbably some undocumented 'not getting enough welfare' -person turning in this person-hole for cash.
