Was it happenstance, or did the woman have a delicious sense of irony?

Woman’s body hangs from tree after apparent suicide

FREDERICA, Del. - The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.

The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said.

The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.

State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time Wednesday but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later.

“They thought it was a Halloween decoration,” Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, told The (Wilmington) News Journal.

“It looked like something somebody would have rigged up,” she said.

My dad and I hung up a dummy over the road next to a cemetery around Halloween when I was a kid. The town we lived in had less than 500 people and no police. The cemetery was a few blocks out of town and we hung the dummy from a rope.

Normally, it would have stayed there for days or weeks, but a highway patrol cop just happened to pass through and took it down a day or so after we strung it up.
