Outside experts plan to examine a dormitory elevator that pinned and killed an Ohio State University freshman who tried to get off as it unexpectedly descended with its doors open. The elevator failed brake tests after the accident and could not hold its 2,500-pound weight limit, state investigators found. The student's family wants additional tests to determine precisely why the elevator failed, said their attorney, adding that it is too early to say whether the family will take legal action.
