1. The Most Beautiful Suicide
Called ‘The Most Beautiful Suicide’ in the world by the media, this photograph shows the dead body of Evelyn McHale just four minutes after she had committed suicide by jumping from the Empire State Building.
What made the photograph so bizarre and distinctive was the fact that the 23-year-old appeared in a rather serene manner despite the fact that she had plunged from the 86th floor on a limousine parked on the curb.
A suicide note expressed a wish to be cremated and explained that she didn’t think she would make a good wife, but the actual reasons for her suicide have never been fully explained, leading many to speculate why the woman killed herself and how she managed to appear relatively unscathed considering the great height from which she fell.
