Strange Fruit

A woman who committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree visible from a housing tract and a major road, was left, uh, hanging there for three (3) hours before police were finally called to the scene. Neighbors and passersby had assumed it was an elaborate, if gruesome, Halloween decoration. "It looked like something somebody would have rigged up," Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, said.

As always, Oscar®-winning makeup artist Rick Baker is to blame.
