The body of a blind man was found at the bottom of a Bronx apartment building's elevator shaft last night. Sheldon Scott had left his 3rd-floor apartment after a fight with his wife, the Daily News reports, and when he didn't return for hours, his wife reported him missing. According to CityRoom, that there have been four elevator-related violations at the Riverdale building on Knolls Crescent, "all addressing the same issue: removing wood from the base of a motor room door...Investigators were trying Friday to learn what led to his death, and whether the elevators doors opened when they should not have or if something else occurred, the police said."
