Here is the correct date.

24 Nov 1983    Jimmy "the Beard" Ferrozzo is crushed to death after hours in
San Francisco's Condor Club. Ferrozzo, the club's assistant manager, was
******* one of the strippers on top of a baby grand piano when one of the
pair inadvertently flipped the switch to the motorized winch that lowered
the instrument from the ceiling. Only when his legs are trapped between the
piano and the ceiling does Ferrozzo manage to shut off the hoist, but he
dies of a heart attack. The exotic dancer remains trapped underneath his
body until firefighters arrive to free her, several hours later.
