The airport worker who discovered the body of a woman in a luggage carousel chute at Chicago O'Hare Airport told police how he could not immediately make sense of the ghoulish scene that confronted him when he started his August 8 shift.
Missionary Virginia Vinton was found dead shortly before 7:30am on Thursday llast week with initial reports suggesting she had become 'entangled' in one of the airport's luggage belts.
Now, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal the chilling truth of the 57-year-old mother of two's bizarre death and why it was ruled a suicide by authorities in Cook County, Illinois.
According to the Chicago Police Department incident report obtained by DailyMail.com Vinton was found by a Delta Airlines baggage handler when he arrived to begin loading luggage from a recently arrived flight at Carousel 11.
The report details the sinister scene as it unfolded, stating: 'He began starting up the conveyor belt by swiping his airport ID and using his fingerprint to begin operations.'
As the belt began to move and the small overhead door opened, the handler noticed a woman at the entrance of the conveyor belt.'
The worker whose name is redacted in the report stated: 'He thought to himself, 'why is there a lady in the chute looking at me, maybe observing me do my job.'
He then asked the woman, 'Do you want me to turn off the conveyor belt?'
As he continued to place bags on the belt, he told officers he felt an 'eerie feeling' and called out to her, 'Hey, are you ok?'
It was only as he got closer to her he realized she wasn't responding and she had an electrical cord wrapped around her neck.
Chicago Fire Department responded to the scene and managed to cut Vinton down.

Ban conveyor belts.
It’s very sad when someone kills themselves, but I will posthumously
give her an A for creativity. Never heard of someone killing themselves by conveyor belt before.
This is very strange. Where did the electrical cord come from? In the video that shows her walking toward the chute was there a cord then? Something smells fishy, but then it’s Chicago.
Go through the hell of flying and THEN kill yourself? That doesn’t make sense.
Touché.
Suicide sounds like BS. She was murdered by her husband.
I remember something similar to this happening, Pennsylvania I think, caused by the dumbass retarded politicians passing the “Crown Ass” bill. The young woman got her “crown” caught in the carousel at the airport and got herself killed. Sometimes OSHA knows better than “crown” wearers and retarded female politicians. STUPID ASSES. Everybody wakes up in the morning hoping to pick up a new Darwin Award.
She is shown on security video walking into the area by herself.
Sure is strange. What was going through her mind? Why like that? No note? Perhaps her family members know more about her state of mind but I haven’t read anything.
Good thing they found her. She could have ended up anywhere the way they move luggage.

Her death was ruled a suicide as Epstein was.
The husband wasn’t there in the airport. She was alone. If someone killed her, it wasn’t him. Maybe stop hating men so much.
I’ve known people who hid their depression, acted normal and pleasant enough around others, yet still eventually wound up
killing themselves. Their spouse knew but not others.
If the person making that choice is thoughtful of others and doesn’t try to traumatize others, I’m at peace with their decision, for the most part. But what really gets me are people who use other people to terminate their own existence, putting an indelible mark on the spirits of the poor people responsible for the end of a miserable life.
Train engineers have it really tough. It seems to be a sport to make the train engineer carry the responsibility. On one of my cross country train trips, we had the obligatory stop in the middle of a desert. Our porter disappeared for a long time. He later explained that they had to stay until they found the head, and he preferred to hide and avoid joining the search parties.
Maybe she was seated next to Ted Striker.
I as sad this woman found life not worth living at any age, much less at age 57.
WTF????
Good thing they found her. She could have ended up anywhere the way they move luggage.

They move most unclaimed airport items here. I’ve been here. Wonderful place for thrift shoppers and scavengers who like bargains.
Fortunately I didn’t come across any dead women left on a conveyor belt.
She needed Jesus Christ.
I’m not familiar with O’Hare but the conveyor belts i’ve seen weren’t moving fast enough or steep enough to kill someone. Maybe with the aid of an electrical cord...I wouldn’t conclude it was suicide for certain.
