There is a very famous WeeGee photograph of that suicide. She does look asleep. Didn't even mess with her make-up.
The car she landed on was crumpled to the base of the windshield, shows the speed and force with which she hit, considering the construction and materials of automobiles then.
That's the most amazing picture... the woman still looks beautiful, barely a hair out of place, lying on the crumpled car roof. It's gotta be on the internet somewhere...(off to look)...
Never saw it-----my Dad (who is here with me now) said Gramps couldn't sleep for 3 days.
Not much could faze Gramps---he was a WWI vet who saw more than his share. That really got to him, though.
He was still alive when the WTC opened and was invited to the dedication.....he went into the building looking up.
Here's a link to the Life Magazine photograph with its description.
