Night Club Fight Ends In Elevator Shaft Death

Nightclub Dispute Leads To Elevator Shaft Death

New York -- A man died after falling down an elevator shaft during a dispute at a posh Manhattan nightclub once featured on the popular television show "Sex and the City," police said.

Police arrested Granville Adams, 43, late Saturday and charged him with criminally negligent homicide in the death of Orlando Valle, 35.

Adams was arraigned Sunday and did not enter a plea. He was freed on $5,000 bail, prosecutors said.

Investigators said the two men fought early Saturday morning at BED New York, a club in the Chelsea neighborhood known for providing beds for its lounging patrons.

Adams pushed Valle against sixth-floor elevator doors, which opened, causing Valle to fall into the shaft, police said.

Valle plummeted four floors before landing on top of the elevator car at the second floor of the converted warehouse space, police said. Valle, of the Bronx, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A message left at a Brooklyn telephone number listed for Adams was not returned Sunday.

According to Valle's younger sister, Luz, relatives and friends who had been at the club said he had been trying to intervene in a dispute and make peace, but instead became involved himself.

Valle, of the Bronx, was a married father. He was at the club to celebrate his birthday, said his father, Felipe Valle.

The elevator had previously passed all necessary inspections, said Kate Lindquist, a spokeswoman for the Buildings Department.

The impact of the men's bodies popped an elevator door off its rollers, according to Rus Laiosa, an elevator inspector who was called into the club after the incident.

BED's patrons can sip cocktails and don the club's complimentary socks while looking out at the city from an outdoor deck.

Calls to BED went unanswered Sunday.

Adams was scheduled to appear in court again April 12. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison, prosecutors said.

Wow. 1 fight. 2 people. 1 dead. Not a real person name among them.

Granville?

Orlando?

Jesus. Sounds like an old man fighting an elf.
