Body Found In Elevator Shaft At Tampa Airport

TAMPA (AP) — Maintenance workers at Tampa International Airport made a grisly discovery Friday: a man's body in an elevator shaft.

Airport police are investigating how the 31-year-old Chad Wolfe, of West Newton, Pa., entered the shaft, where he was found dead Friday morning.

Records show Wolfe arrived in Tampa from Atlanta shortly after midnight Friday. Maintenance first noticed problems with the elevator at the short term parking garage several hours later.

There was no immediate evidence of foul play. The medical examiner will determine Wolfe's cause of death.
