"He is much better off without me."

61 years, 2 months, and 16 days ago Evelyn McHale took her life by jumping from the top of the Empire State Building. Minutes later Robert Wiles snapped this...


This may be one of the most disturbingly beautiful pictures I have ever seen. Its amazing how peaceful this 23 year old woman looks just minutes after her lowest of lows.

i guess all the blood can't be seen from this angle. if we could see it, i think the beauty would be removed instantly.

anyway it is a disturbingly beautiful picture
