RAWDON, Que. - A bride-to-be has plunged to her death, tumbling down from a cliff into a waterfall while wearing her wedding dress.
The woman was being photographed Friday at Dorwin Falls in Rawdon, Que., which she had chosen as the backdrop for her wedding pictures.
During the photo shoot, around 2 p.m., she slipped on some rocks and plummeted into the water. The falls, at their highest point, are just over 18 metres high.
The immediate rescue team included firefighters and provincial police, and divers were soon on their way. The woman's body was found several hours later.
A provincial police spokesman, Ronald McInnis, said nobody could have saved her.
"It's impossible," he said. "The falls are very high. The current is very violent, it's very rocky...
"The people who fall at that spot usually perish. It doesn't give you a chance."
Two witnesses — whose identity was not confirmed by police — had to be transported to hospital to be treated for extreme shock.
The woman was on the verge of getting married "within days," police said. They would not confirm, however, whether the wedding was to be held Saturday.
But think of the number of people who fall into the Grand Canyon either on foot or in a car EVERY year. You should always try to look at the bright side of the story. Within that bright side there is more or less humor. You just have to find it.
That’s very subtle French Canadian humor. You’ll never figure it out unless you are one of them!
By not enjoying life's thrills and what it offers you are dying and not even noticing it.
I was thinking of posting a similar thought, but dying in a meth lab explosion isn’t exactly my idea of “enjoying life’s thrills”.....
How awful.
Dreadful. RIP.
