The tendency to deliver a pun over the unfortunate death of this woman needs to be squashed.
I feel deflated right now.
I'm about ready to flatline...

Of course it's suicide, how would she
accidentally get run over by a bulldozer?
(Although I suppose if you weren't looking one could crepe up on you)...

Sounds like the judge made this decision quickly; probably had a PRESSING engagement elsewhere, so he had to turn the request down FLAT.

Not many things are as fun as driving a bull dozer,
Bet it didn’t even flinch when it ran her foolish ass over.

If she did survive her stare down with the bulldozer, you know she would now be resting comfortably stateside in an OWS tent or chained to a tree in Oregon holding off the loggers.

They have grasped at every straw they could find in their effort to profit from and to place blame in the death of their daughter.
