Chalk this one up to being one of the most frightening things that could ever happen to anyone …

A woman was reportedly found dead inside of an elevator after she was locked inside for one … whole … month. 

The incident took place in Xi'an, China, at an apartment complex residents say is notorious for ignoring requests to fix things around the site. As it was Chinese New Year, maintenance workers were away for an extended period anyways and had no idea the cab malfunctioned. The unnamed 38-year-old loner woman starved to death and was found with lacerations on her hands — thought to have occured when she attempted to open the doors on her own. 

Authorities are actively investigating the situation and at least one person has been placed under arrest.

Fuuuuuuuck that.
