This is one of those Darwin award kind of stories and irresistible in the same way. A devout Catholic (and claustrophobic) who became stuck in a lift prayed intently for escape, eventually the engineers got him out whereby he ran to the nearest church (presumably to thank God?), anyway when he got there he hugged a stone pillar and the 800 pound alter perched on top of it fell and killed him instantly.
Very unfortunate of course, but I can't help thinking that this the exact kind of random, accidental event that you would expect to happen all the time if there was no such thing as a supernatural, omniscient, paternal creator, and just a bunch of evolved ape like mammals running around on a small lump of space rock ?

Ouch. The event feels rather like a missing scene from a Final Destination movie.
Nowtas, I cringe at those movies, bit like the opening scenes from Casualty where the camera alternates between a shot of a boiling kettle and a shot of a baby etc. nasty..
