Maserati Drummer Dies After Falling Down Elevator Shaft
Jerry Fuch, a drummer who played with bands such as Maserati, !!!, and The Juan MacLean, died on Sunday, Nov. 8 after falling down an elevator shaft, according to CHARTattack.
Fuch and a friend were invited to a posh benefit party in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighbourhood, and were in the building’s elevator trying to get to the fifth floor. The elevator stopped three or four feet above the fifth floor.
The two men opened the elevator door and decided to jump the few feet down to the fifth floor. Fuchs’ friend made the jump, but when Fuch tried, his clothing got caught on the elevator. He was yanked backward, falling into the space between the elevator and the fifth floor.
Fuchs fell down five stories and landed at the bottom of the elevator shaft. He was taken to Brooklyn’s Bellevue Hospital but died at 3:30 a.m.
