A 33-year-old man was killed in a mishap involving the elevator at the Gampaha General Hospital, Police today said.

The Police said the incident had happened when the elevator was stuck mid-way and when it opened mechanically and the rescuers were attempting to take the passengers out, this man had reportedly jumped out of the elevator some five feet above ground level and knocked his head on the floor.

They said there were five people inside the elevator at the time. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

Of course that will be the case if the hospital is owned by any minority.
