It was essentially suicide.

she was sweet and kind and loving

Unless, of course, she doesn't get her way.

Sounds really bizarre as described so far.

She also pleaded with the press for privacy.

Bet that plea flies out the window in a couple weeks when they file suit against the airport, the airlines, and everyone in the airport that day.

Gothbaum? Well, she was a liberal Democrat.

Just saying . . .

“her handcuffs, which ended up around her neck”

I can’t even imagine what this could mean.

I’d wager everything I have that her heirs were in touch with a lawyer within six hours of her having been declared dead.

If you cause a scene once you get on the plane it’s easy to get removed and arrested, but I’ve seen people get all kinds of loud and irate at the gate and never seen one of them get arrested. They are used to dealing with very unhappy people who miss their planes. This lady must have been out of control.

How does one "accidentally" choke oneself to death while wearing handcuffs?

More imoportantly, why do we have "holding cells" at airports?

I meant to add that being irate over a flight assignment is apparently now a capital offense.

It sounds like she had some sort of psychotic break, which could have been brought about by a brain illness. Where was she before the incident and what was she doing?

There is a lot more to this story than what has been revealed. Look for a scandal in the airport police agency. This family is well connected and very litigious. The Gotbaums are public advocates for NYC and they investigate the wrongs done to people by police, hospitals and other city government agencies. The airport police and the airline are in big trouble. Expect a huge settlement before it’s all over.

Is it SOP to keep the cuffs on prisoners after they've been secured in the holding cell at the Sky Harbor International Airport?

I hope the airline doesn’t dive head first into a settlement without first pursuing whether they actually have any culpability in this odd event.

I’m not sure what the circumstances surrounding Carol Gotbaum’s death, but I do know that in life she did donate to some very worthy causes:

http://www.ourmilitarykids.org/donate_and_volunteer/donors.html

******************

Our Military Kids, Inc. thanks the following for supporting its mission. These contributors ensure that children of deployed Reserve and National Guard receive the support and recognition they need and deserve during the period of their parents’ deployment.

-—Noah and Carol Gotbaum

*************

Perhaps when discussing the death of a person, we would do well to remember that they are people, capable of mistakes and beauties, and not merely objects of our derision. Somewhere, a deployed soldier’s child had a better life because of this woman.

I thank Carol Gotbaum for her care for our soldiers, and pray for peace for her family.

in an airport holding cell

Hm. Jails have holding cells, now airports have holding cells. Do they have them in train stations, bus stations, other places? Where all do they have holding cells?

It appears Gotbaum may have tried to get out of her handcuffs, which ended up around her neck

Hmmm.... I don't buy it.
