Feeling Run Down?

Limo driver Patricia Marcella, 44, died in a bizarre accident, May 28, in Cambridge, Ontario.  With 83-year-old Phyllis Diller in the back seat, Marcella stopped along an uphill driveway to ask for directions to the hotel where the funny lady was staying.  Not realizing she'd left the limo in neutral, Marcella walked behind the car and was crushed when it rolled backward.  Diller and her opening act - magician Mercer Helms, who was also in the car - escaped injury. (as reported in Entertainment Weekly, June 15, 2001)
