Associated Press

A cruise ship employee has been killed in a gruesome accident that ended with blood pouring out of an elevator, horrifying passengers.
Police in Miami, Florida, confirmed that 66-year-old Jose Sandoval Opazo was killed while working on the elevator on a Carnival Ecstasy cruise Sunday evening when the ship was on the final leg of its three-day voyage and was heading back to Miami. A cruise passenger captured the bloody elevator on video.
WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: Video shows blood pouring from ship's elevator 

“The company extends its heartfelt sympathy to the family and loved ones of our team member. Our CareTeam is providing support,” Carnival said in a statement. “Appropriate authorities have been notified and a full investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.”
The video was recorded by Matt Davis, a Fort Myers, Florida, man, who was headed to dinner with his family. The video shows an elevator door with blood pouring out of it.
In the recording you can hear a voice saying, “No, that can’t be right. No. That’s not possible.”
“To look and see the elevator with just blood coming down like a sheet and not stopping. It was a real-life scene of ‘The Shining,’” Davis told WFTX-TV.
Davis said that he and his wife, Susan, could smell the blood and that it washed down the lift doors. They said another man was also inside the elevator and ran out after struggling to open the doors.
Police and the cruise line have not confirmed what caused the incident.
The Ecstasy cruise ship sails from Miami and Charleston, South Carolina, to Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
