They would infact lose, provided Elphant Statue of Disasters effect would activate. For future reference, any time life points reach 0, the duel ends right then and there.

What exactly ARE you asking?

Does "Last Turn" skip immediately to the end phase?

Answer: Absolutely NOT!

Does Last Turn resolve before Elephant Statue of Disaster activates?

Answer: YES!

Assuming Elephant Statue of Disaster's effect activates by being sent to the graveyard from the hand and not by being DISCARDED, you would win by your opponent reaching 0 LP before he even GETS to the end phase or before Last Turn's lingering effect can declare the victor.

Now if Elephant Statue of Disaster, like "Electric Snake," requires being DISCARDED and not merely SENT TO THE GRAVEYARD to activate, victory would be declared by Last Turn's victory conditions because Elephant Statue's effect would NOT activate and nobody would lose lifepoints.

See why posting card effects is so important in determining a ruling?

Edit: After checking the Ronin Database, Elephant Statue of Disaster's effect IS triggered by Last Turn.

Effect Monster (Rock / EARTH / 3 Stars / ATK 1500 / DEF 0)

When this card is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, inflict 2000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points.

• [Re: Last Turn] After "Last Turn" sends all cards to the Graveyard, before the Special Summon for "Last Turn" is performed, monster effects like "Despair from the Dark", "Elephant Statue of Disaster", and "Regenerating Mummy" will activate.
