Man strangled by downtown Seattle escalator
Posted by Alexa Vaughn
The state Department of Labor & Industries has launched an investigation into the death of a 42-year-old man who was strangled in a downtown Seattle escalator last weekend.
Maurecio Bell, 42, was found unconscious and unresponsive at the bottom of an escalator at the Benaroya Hall Metro Station at Third Avenue and Seneca Street at 5:36 a.m. Sunday, according to Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office said that Bell apparently fell down on the moving escalator and his clothing became entangled in the escalator's mechanism, choking him to death.
Medics performed CPR on Bell, but were unable to revive him, Moore said.
Moore said Labor & Industries is investigating how Bell's clothes got caught in the escalator.
