Gunther Link, a devout Catholic, prayed to be saved after he was trapped in a lift – but was killed when he went to church to give thanks and the stone altar fell on him
man dies in church

Link, 45, died instantly as he was crushed under the ancient 860lb monument in the Weinhaus Church in Vienna, Austria.

Roman Hahslinger, a police spokesman, said: "He was a very religious man and had been scared when he was trapped in the lift and had prayed for release.

"A short while later he was pulled out of the elevator and he went straight to the church to thank God.

"He seems to have embraced a stone pillar on which the stone altar was perched and it fell on him, killing him instantly.

"We have found his fingerprints on the pillar. We are now investigating the case further," he added.

Link's body was found by parishioners attending Mass the next day after he had been reported missing by his cousin.

    If your name is Link, and you're at an alter, you're either picking up a sword, or someone is trying to kill you.

    So, heads up.

    we had the westboro Wacko cult show up to protest a Lady Gaia Temple
    so all of us stood outside laughing at them and holding up signs
    God told us to tell you that your Going to hell westboro
    we all just laughed at them and then the Gay members started kissing and then the lesbian members started kissing and us hetrosexuals started having a wild kiss marathon
    then we went inside the Temple and shouted Let the ORGY Begin!!!
    ( there was no Orgy we just wanted them to think that )
    we all shouted Sex sounds oooh ahh oh baby oh yes yes yes oh Odin oh Thor oh Zeus
    oh Goddess Lilith Everything to just piss them off
