(Eagle News)—A 37-year-old architect died after he fell into an elevator shaft in a building in Cubao, Quezon City on Saturday, March 2.
Authorities identified the man who fell down the elevator shaft in Cyberpark 1 as architect Michael Alfonso.
In a statement, Cyberpark 1 said two men managed to open “an emergency service door of a high-zone elevator shaft.”
