Die in Glamour

We know death is inevitable. And we know that Death speaks the last moment we will share to our love ones. Just recently, I asked myself, 'what if we die beautifully', this would make our last hour of our life at least less unpleasantly looking. Im sure this would make us ready for the next world in complete get-up and beautiful to take the red carpet.
wear glamorous gown, fix your hair, and put some elegant make-up.  mmm interesting.
This is Evelyn Mchale, her death dubbed as The Most Beautiful Suicide. She leap off from the observatory deck of the Empire State Building in May 1, 1947.

The photo ran a couple of weeks later in Life magazine accompanied by the following caption:
"On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. 'He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody,' ... Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Across the street photography student Robert Wiles heard an explosive crash. Just four minutes after Evelyn McHale's death Wiles got this picture of death's violence and its composure."
