This photo was taken a few moments after 23-year-old Evelyn McHale jumped to her death from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building & landed perfectly on a UN limousine parked below. Most often referred to as “the most beautiful suicide”. She looks like she’s pleasantly sleeping on satin bedsheets.
