A Hero’s Demise
There’s no denying that Stephen Hewett-Brown died a hero. The 25-year-old saved a woman from stepping into a falling elevator located in a NYC Lower East Side apartment complex on New Year’s Eve 2015. Brown, who was already in the car as it started plummeting, pushed 43-year-old Erude Sanchez onto safe ground before he was crushed between the elevator and the building door.
