Maybe she went out ala Michael Hutchence or David Carradine.

You have a beautiful (naughty) mind.

[Lando Lincoln]

I have a hard time imagining not standing back up as the CO2 poison builds up first.

Anchor the ligature on one side of the door and flip it to the top.  Hang on the opposite side.  She probably had some substantial doors.

I wonder if it's as bad as having mom commit suicide when you are 13?

@Sanguine
Suicide is a tragic and selfish act.   However, in the grasp of severe depression people do not think rationally.  She needed help and did not get it.

She left a note and her staff found her this morning...I hope her daughter wasn't there..

That is the one element of the story that bugs me. At least make it look like a plausible accident of you are going to pull this shit. Hanging off a doorknob is a pretty big eff you.

LOL  If i had a naughty mind I would try the method myself.  I just have a mind for totally useless details.

You're right, and that's why the education/thinking needs to occur before it gets to that point.  She was in pain, but she will cause great, possibly greater pain to her daughter.

[thackney]

Depression can be quite awful

Absolutely. 

But I lack the understanding of someone that has that level of physical control over their own body, that results in suicide.

[mystery-ak]

Live stream it.

It will be pay for view...consider it a fundraiser

You sound like you've tried it.......or made a murder look like a suicide. Are you Mr Wolf and "Solve Problems"?

I remember talking to my Father just after his best friend blew his head off with a 12 gauge.  I asked him why he did it while sitting on the bed in the Master Bedroom of his home.  Dad said:  "I think he was sending a message"

[Restored]

Anyone see Trump in the vicinity?

Absolutely.

@thackney
People close to me suffer from severe depression.   It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.   I'm not talking the kind of depression resulting from your hockey team losing a game either.  For these people the pain of continuing is less then that rope.   I'm sure some people do stop just as some people who use a long rope probably change their mind after stepping off.

By JONAH ENGEL BROMWICH and VANESSA FRIEDMAN

The American designer Kate Spade was found dead on Tuesday, according to police officials.

The police said that Ms. Spade, 55, was discovered unresponsive at a Park Avenue apartment, where she had hanged herself. She had left a note, but the official did not comment on what it said. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:26 a.m.

A housekeeper found Ms. Spade in her bedroom hanging from a red scarf tied to a doorknob, the police said. She was unconscious and the housekeeper called 911. Ms. Spade’s husband was at the scene. A police spokesman did not know the whereabouts of Ms. Spade’s daughter. Born Kate Brosnahan in Kansas City, Mo., in December 1962, Ms. Spade was one of the first of a powerful wave of female American contemporary designers in the 1990s.  ... More

She made some pretty hot stuff. I didn't mind my wife blowing money on it. I wonder if I can cash in on fashionista grief and get some of those heels and bags up on Ebay before the wife gets home?

You're all heart, Frank.

[edpc]

She is the SIL of David Spade and the aunt of actress Rachel Brosnahan.
