New York delivery man stuck in lift for 3 days
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Chinese food delivery man has been found trapped in a broken elevator, more than three days after he was reported missing, police said.
Ming Kung Chen, 35, who worked for the Happy Dragon restaurant in the Bronx, was reported missing late Friday when he did not return an hour after setting out on a delivery.
Police said he was found on Tuesday morning and was hospitalised with dehydration. Police were unable to question him immediately because he did not speak English.
Newspapers had reported the Chinese community feared that Chen, who is from Fuzhou province in China, might have been a victim of robbery or foul play by immigrant smugglers.

My gosh! Poor chap indeed!!
I wonder if he became claustrophobic after that?
I read an article before too, about a man who collapsed and died at his workstation and nobody knew until five days later!! His colleagues said he was a quiet man and his work didn't involve a lot of other folks so everyday, they'd walk past and see him slumped over his desk as if he was hard at work so they didn't bother him. It was only about five days later when the cleaning lady decided to clean his cubicle area that it was discovered that he had already passed on.
Should have kept the link to that article. I read it a few times because I couldn't believe the news was real but it came from a legitimate news agency site in the US.

Which is why we should make an effort to get to know people we see at work everyday, at least show some interest in whether they are alright.Originally posted by Rhonda:

I guess it was somewhat a blessing that the delivery chap did not have diarrhoea whilst stuck in the lift.
