Gerhardt “Jerry” Fuchs, a prolific drummer for bands including !!!, the Juan MacLean andMaserati, died early Sunday after falling down an elevator shaft in a loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn late Saturday night.
Fuchs, 34, had been attending a party hosted by the Uniform Project, which promotes sustainable fashion and raises money for education in India.
Fuchs and a friend were in an elevator in a converted factory used as loft space when the elevator stopped “somewhere above the fifth floor,” the Buildings Department spokesman told the New York Post.
The pair opened the elevator door and attempted to jump a few feet down to the fifth floor. The friend made the jump, but a piece of Fuchs’ clothing was caught on the elevator, “sending him swinging back into the crevice separating the elevator from the fifth floor,” the Post writes.

I always look forward to Franklin Avenue’s coverage of the office park pumpkin contest.
Hey, look, that’s in my office lobby right now. Its also happens to be the same lobby where the Seacrest stalker was arrested this morning. I wonder if there was a late “Seacrest Stalker” pumpkin entry? I bet they have one at TMZ .
