Cheslie Kryst, former Miss USA 2019
Have no idea what her problem was, but I do pray for her soul.
Thank you for posting. This is so sad. From her essay in Allure on turning 30:
“To be fair, I didn’t spring from the womb, sword in hand, to fight the good fight and I am certainly not exempting myself from belonging to the go-with-the-flow crowd on occasion. I remember being enamored by “20 under 20” and “30 under 30” lists that tied achievement to youth and called it success — lists that are surely intended to recognize the rarity of accomplishing outstanding feats at a young age. But they had an unfortunate side effect on some young people, who felt encouraged to hoard accomplishments as fast as possible in order to measure up to our peers.
…I discovered that the world’s most important question, especially when asked repeatedly and answered frankly, is: why? Why earn more achievements just to collect another win? Why pursue another plaque or medal or line item on my resume if it’s for vanity’s sake, rather than out of passion? Why work so hard to capture the dreams I’ve been taught by society to want when I continue to only find emptiness?”

Suicide almost always sad. No one knows the demons until too late. Permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Prayers for her and her family’s loss.
But was she covid positive?
Sorry... had to ask.
Sounds Covid related to me. Or had she gotten crosswise with one of the Clintons?
Her Instagram icon is a black power fist.
I only skimmed the top of her instagram photos - they appear to be mostly self-centered-selfies in vain hope to finally get a photo she likes.
Vain and shallow?
My condolences to the family.
However unpleasant to ask, it is necessary to inquire if this young woman was altering her brain chemistry with marijuana, alcohol or other drugs both prescribed or illegal. The headlines regarding these tragedies are usually all the public ever learns. There is usually much more to the story sometimes very hard to hear or very politically incorrect. BTW suicide among African American women, despite all, is relatively uncommon.
Law school, beauty pageants, tv shows... nothing else to accomplish. But no husband, no kids. Nobody taught her what mattered.
The carefree party days are over, there’s no back to normal. The point of all those achievements was to have the money to throw amazing parties. The money’s there but everyone who shows up at the party will be depressed.
Shortly before she jumped, Kryst posted on her Instagram page, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
Sounds like she was hounded by someone.
Marijuana legalization cheerleader. Perhaps the weed had something to do with it.
Read later.
She couldn’t get past the low point in her life... being a lawyer.
From the article... her last instagram photo had the words “May this day bring you rest and peace”. I hope that for her... rest and peace. I don’t know anything about her history, life, medical/psychological issues, etc... but I do think someone throwing themselves off a 9th floor building at 7:30 in the morning is is need of a prayer from me.
Her Instagram has the BLM emoji. Good riddance. I reserve my empathy for the deserving.

She was duped by the left. Militant leftism will get you in the end one way or another. It’s sad but could be a learning lesson.
One problem with reaching a peak, is the realization that it’s all downhill from here.
She was beautiful. She was also 30 and apparently without a loved one to hold her. This can be depressing for women.
