more, with pictures, at Daily Mail link aboveA woman was engulfed in flames after she got into an elevator in her building and the doors opened up at a deadly blaze.
Shantel McCoy, 32, was returning home at 2am this morning, when she unwittingly rode to her death after a fire broke out on the floor she lived on.
Miss McCoy rode the elevator to the 12th floor in the Chicago block but when the doors opened she was hit with flames and searing heat.

[Fire Department Chief Joe Roccasalva] said: 'The door of the apartment that was on fire didn't close when they left and all the heat and gases and smoke poured into the hallway. When the elevator door opened up, she just got blasted.'
