A musician who played with LCD Soundsystem and The Juan MacLean has died after falling down a New York elevator shaft.
Drummer Jerry Fuchs, 34, plummeted five stories Sunday after he attempted to climb out of a freight elevator that became stuck in a Brooklyn building, the New York Post reported.
Although another man who was with Fuchs leaped and landed safely, the Georgia-born musician's clothing apparently got caught on the lift as he was jumping, dragging him back under it, the Post said.
"We found him in the elevator shaft," Fuchs's roommate Alex Frankel told the newspaper. "He was no longer able to speak."
Frankel said Fuchs had called friends shortly before he fell to tell them he was stuck in the elevator after attending an event to benefit The Uniform Project, a charity that aids the impoverished children of India.
