A 23-year-old Crete woman who was killed in an accident at a Halloween party at a downtown luxury hotel was a Chicago public schools special education teacher who was "ready to make a difference," according to her family.
The accident happened at 10:30 p.m. Saturday as Megan Duskey, of the 3600 block of Melanie Lane was attending the party at the Palmer House Hilton, 17 E. Monroe St., police said.
While police have opened a death investigation into the incident, preliminary details indicate she was attempting to slide down a stair rail from the mezzanine level when she lost her balance and fell four stories to the basement level, police said.
Duskey was at the party with friends when the "tragic accident" happened, according to a police officer. Alcohol did not appear to be a factor, police said.

Slide down a stair rail?
To: ConservativeStatement
Uh, she was at a party at the Hilton at 10:30 PM, thinking she could slide down four stories’ worth of banister, and she was completely sober? Sure. Whatever you say, dude.

The big question is...was she pregnant? Any recent boyfriend issues, etc.
Call in Mr. Monk. This doesn’t sound like an accident to me.

I can’t believe it took three liberals to write this. They simply noticed that the deceased was a Chicago Public School teacher and went to their default "wanted to make a difference" form article. Fill in the names, add a couple of facts from the police report and bam! Pulitzer material!

Poor woman. Not a very bright thing to do - especially four floors up.

According to WGN, the Halloween party Duskey attended was shut down due to safety concerns. There were several reports of heavily intoxicated people at the gathering.
