The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Aw geez, this is creepy. It seems that a suicide of a woman was thought to be Halloween related.

Many people passed by what they thought was a Halloween decoration dangling in a tree in Delaware, but it turned out to be a whole lot more gruesome when it was discovered that it was, in fact, a body of a 42 year old woman.

The woman apparently used a rope to hang herself approximately 15 feet above a fairly busy road, but people in the neighbourhood had no idea it was more than a Halloween prank until later in the day.

That's one Halloween spoof I wouldn't want to come across. And, I thought Halloween was a scary enough time of the year as it was.

I don't think I would have been able to tell the difference between a real trick and a real suicide. Pranks can get pretty good, you know, and the body could have stayed up there a long time before I'd notice it to be real.

I wonder if the person got the idea from that commercial for that tv show where they show a body dangling in a tree. That's the first thing I thought of when I read the article. So, I guess now that forensic shows don't just aid criminals, but they assist the suicidal as well.
