Evelyn McHale & ’the most beautiful suicide’

Reading
Evelyn Francis McHale (September 20, 1923 – May 1, 1947) was an American book-keeper who jumped to her death from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building. Robert Wiles, a photography student, took a picture of Evelyn where she lay on top of a crushed car. The photograph of the dead lady had a "beautiful" aesthetic quality and was republished around the world. The photograph led Time magazine to call it "the most beautiful suicide."
