Update: Y&R Executive Suzanne Hart Dies In Tragic Elevator Accident

Reports say Suzanne Hart, Y&R's 41-year-old director of new business content and experience (per LinkedIn), died in an elevator accident Wednesday morning at the famed Madison Avenue building that's housed the agency for decades. She died as she boarded the elevator and it began to rise prematurely, reports say.

Two others on the elevator suffered minor injuries. The building, which is owned by Y&R parent WPP, houses multiple agencies owned by the holding company.

Ad Age reports the building's elevators have been the subject of "numerous violations citations," which have been dismissed by a New York City agency.

Y&R recently said it would be moving to a Columbus Circle headquarters.
