Young man gets crushed to death by elevator

The young man, who could not move away quickly enough as the lift jerked upwards, is caught between the floor of the lift and the top of the door, where he is crushed to death.

The video footage is from a surveillance camera fixed inside the malfunctioning lift at Huaqiao University, in the city of Xiamen in south-east China's Fujian Province.

Rescue workers rushed to free the young man's body, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, having suffocating because his lungs were crushed and he was unable to breathe.

Was the elevator lowered manually somehow at the end? eg. handcrank at the motor location? The lowering was too precisely controlled and the elevator definitely does NOT have a stepper motor.
