1 killed, ruled accident, no crime December 1, 2014 Winona State college gymnast found dead in bar food elevator, no foul play Winona State University student Brooke Baures worked at the WingDam Saloon and Grill in nearby Fountain City was found dead in the restaurant’s food service elevator, also called a dumbwaiter, Police have said the death appears to be a puzzling and bizarre accident, apparently entering and getting entangled in machinery, but no witnesses saw her get in or had any idea how she got in the elevator. Authorities have found no signs of foul play or criminal activity. She was a Wisconsin native and twice named the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference gymnast of the week., The death is the latest in an unrelated series of disappearances, murders, suicides and mass shootings involving college students and athletes. Daily News reports that  dumbwaiter accidents are rare, with the OSHA database showiong only two incidents, both fatal, have happened in the U.S. between 2003 and 2013. Autospy shows her head was almost entirely in the elevator, and witness statements indicate she was the only person would could have pressed the button. Alternative theory - why would you press the button while or then put your head inside? Do witnesses ever lie?

Based on witness' statements, police believe Baures was the only person who could have pressed the dumbwaiter's control button on the second floor. Police believe her head was almost entirely inside the cab of the elevator when it descended. The autopsy found "extensive destruction" of the brainstem and left side of the cerebellum. The dumbwaiter has since been permanently removed.
