Breaking News: Dead after being trapped in lift for a month: Woman's desperate scratches to try and get free.

"Her hands were distorted...there were scratches on the wall, it was horrible," an apartment resident says of corpse discovered after a month after a woman was trapped in a lift.

The woman, from the central Chinese city of Xian, had been trapped in the elevator of the apartment building where she was living after maintenance crew shut off power.

The police found the woman's body, which had begun decomposing, on March 1, and launched an investigation, news portal NetEase reported on Sunday.

"The scene was inhumane. We think she starved to death in there," one of the residents, Xiao Lin, told reporters.

Another resident only named Wang said the elevator was full of markings of the victim's desperate attempts to get out.

The elevator apparently became stuck between the 10th and 11th floors of the building on January 30, the Beijing Times said.

Service men called to deal with the broken cable banged on the door, but when they heard no response they cut off power to the elevator and told residents to use a different lift, the officials said.

When the servicemen returned to fix the cable on March 1, they opened the elevator door and found the woman's body.

The woman was identified as a 43-year-old resident who was living by herself.

Police ruled out any foul play but concluded her death was caused by the gross negligence on the part of the maintenance crew in a case of involuntary manslaughter, the government said.

Chinese media wondered how it was possible that the woman's corpse went unnoticed by the building's residents for over 30 days, although it could be that several residents may have been away on travels to other parts of China during the customary Lunar New Year festivities in February.

Another mystery is how the woman went missing for a month without family or friends reporting her absence to the authorities.

China has poor records on workplace safety where proper safety procedures and practices are routinely ignored.

In July, a Chinese woman was killed when she was swallowed by a mall escalator when a metal platform on top of the escalator suddenly caved in. She was holding her two-year-old son then but tossed the child to safety when she fell into the crevice.
