Sunil Kumar Das, 21, the sole survivor among the seven labourers involved in the elevator crash, was pronounced dead at 10.30 pm on Sunday at Nipun hospital. “He was brought to us in a semi-conscious state and had an exposed bone. Even his blood pressure could not be recorded,” said a doctor at the hospital. 

Dr Vivek Dwivedi (general medicine) who attended to Das said that he had multiple serious injuries and his chances of survival were slim. “He had polytrauma with fractures and internal bleeding. He was gasping for breath. We provided supportive treatment, but unfortunately, he couldn’t make it,” he said. His body was then sent to Thane Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
