Yale Student Killed in Lathe Accident by hector950726 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Michele Dufault, a 22-year-old Yale senior majoring in astronomy and physics, died in an accident while working late at night in a campus machine shop. Her long hair got caught in the rotating axis of a lathe, which asphyxiated her by compressing her neck. She was passionate about science and had worked on projects for NASA and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Yale and safety officials will investigate the accident and review safety policies for equipment access by undergraduates.
