Woman found dead in elevator 30 days after power cut off by building workers

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/06/woman-found-dead-in-elevator-30-days-after-power-cut-off-by-building-workers This article is about the quiet death of a 43 year old woman who was trapped inside an Elevator for 31 days. The elevator was cut off from power after Maintenance workers were told to check for a glitch. The Chinese government identified this as a Manslaughter and fault of the workers, the Woman was deduced to not die from malicious intent, but was filed as Manslaughter. There is relevance in this article because of China's previous history of poor workplace safety. The article lists another incident last year where a woman was swallowed by a Mall escalator. This article while not at all being relevant to the Guardian's British focus and political views, was most likely created for because of the shock value this article gives, people are more inclined to read it. The article clearly states the affair in its title, making people more likely to read it. Because of the Guardian's outsider stance, there is little clear bias to be seen within the article.
