ER24 paramedics, along with provincial services, arrived on scene and were ushered into the building where they found a number of people crowded around the entrance of the elevator.
“On assessment, paramedics found the lifeless body of a male and his critically injured colleague,” said spokesperson Russel Meiring.
“Paramedics climbed into the elevator and assessed both patients. Unfortunately, one of the patients had already succumbed to his multiple fatal injuries.”
Meiring said the second patient, a man, was found in a critical condition.
“Paramedics and rescue services treated the patient for his injuries and provided him with advanced life support. Once freed from the elevator, he was transported to Addignton Hospital for urgent medical treatment,” he said.
The cause of the incident is not yet known but local authorities were on scene for further investigations.
