“The individual injured in the elevator accident at Glória, who was admitted to the intensive care unit of ULS São José and whose condition had stabilized, was transferred to a healthcare facility in their home country,” a hospital source informed the Lusa news agency.
Another person injured in the accident on September 3 remains hospitalized at São José Hospital and is in stable condition.
The injured man transferred was the father of the three-year-old boy initially reported as deceased.
The boy’s mother was critically injured in the accident and was also taken to São José Hospital. The child received treatment at Hospital de Santa Maria for a fracture.
The family of the victim came to Portugal to identify the body at the Institute of Legal Medicine. However, after failing to identify the German national, they decided to show a photograph of the relative to a police officer on the streets of the capital.
The German father of the boy found in the wreckage of the Glória Elevator accident had been presumed dead by the authorities. It was later discovered he is hospitalized at São José Hospital in Lisbon.

At Hospital de Santa Maria, which admitted a total of eight injured on the day of the elevator accident in central Lisbon, two individuals remain in the intensive care unit but are “progressing well,” according to ULS.
At Hospital de São Francisco Xavier, two people remain in intensive care: a South Korean woman and a young Portuguese woman who was in critical condition, while another injured woman has moved to the ward.
A woman is still hospitalized in the orthopedics department at Hospital Amadora-Sintra after being transferred from São José in the days following the accident. She is expected to be discharged soon, a hospital source said.
The Glória elevator, managed by Carris under municipal control, derailed on September 3, causing 16 fatalities and around two dozen injuries, including Portuguese and foreign nationals from various countries. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
