The Richmond Fire Department say a maintenance technician died Wednesday morning while working on an escalator at Stony Point Fashion Park. ... Around 9:52 a.m., first responders arrived at the Dillard's store on 9208 Stony Point Parkway for reports of a man who fell down an escalator shaft.

At the scene, they found the victim trapped, underneath and unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene by medics with the Richmond Ambulance Authority.
