I like that the story clarified that she was killed instantly.

Ewwwwww

[Pete]

in our self absorbed society she probably dropped her phone, which she wanted to check to see if anyone liked her latest photo, and desperately needed that phone, at that second

I wonder if she took a selfie

I was at Elvis Costello/Steely Dan show Monday with a buddy. Both of us are 52. He actually asked if I wanted to take a dual selfie. I laughed and said "Hell No". I was floored.

I just walk through faux hollywood photo shoots all the time. The schadenfreude element of ruining their shot brings a smile to my face

But everyone else is self absorbed. Okay.

It's sad. Sometimes you just make bad choices. So many close calls in ones life. Some of them are impulsive, bad judgement. Nobody's perfect. Some people don't get a mulligan. I thank the Lord (or whoever you pray to) for looking out for @ times.

Ha... Exactly. I chuckled when I read his reply.

"Louis was sitting on the platform Friday at the Cos Cob station in Greenwich dangling her legs over the edge as train was approaching"

 

Ignoring for a moment the decision to jump down 6' onto a track with a train approaching, WTF was this girl thinking with that move??

[ExiledInIllinois]

KD... She was desensitized to her surroundings. It had to be that. I know it is hard to believe. She must have felt safe. People do the craziest things. I get people in boats dangling all over the vessel (he he, that sounds funny) and when I tell them to stop or they will fall in, I am floored when they say they can't swim! WTF are they thinking!

 

Some people are like a fly to a flame when it comes to trouble.

You got some weird flies in Illinois.

You think those are weird? Ask him about the fish.

Do you have any idea how much a Michael Kors handbag goes for these days?

Don't get me started... And hey, they aren't "ours." ;-P

 

Oh... And man, the horseflies have been brutal this year... ;-)

Update: The ME has ruled that this was a suicide. Sad.
