The story of this photo is very shocking and very funny and
it is almost as old as Pakistan but it was taken a few months ago on 1st May
1947.
This photo was taken by Robert Wiles, a student of
photography at the time, and is still one of the most popular photos seven
decades later.
So you managed to find the reason behind the picture? By the
way, it's hard to see why this picture is remembered so far.
Let's say the title of this photo will tell you the truth
and it's 'the most beautiful suicide in the world or the most beautiful full
society'.
Yes, this picture is of a suicide woman and she jumped from
the 86th floor of the Empire State Building in New York, but not surprisingly,
falling down so high that the woman was dead or dead. Is damaged.
The woman in the picture is Evelyn McHale, who decided to
end her life at the age of 23. Not much is known about this woman's life or the last hours,
it is only known that she was from Berkeley, California, who moved to New York
with her parents and siblings after the parents separated.
After studying there, she joined the Army Corps and later
left the company to become a bookkeeper, but why did she commit suicide.
On May 1, the woman went to the Empire State Building and
jumped down the observation deck on the 86th floor, and then police discovered
Evelyn's final letter with her neatly folded coat on the 86th floor. Was' I
don't want to see my family part of my life anymore, can you burn my body and
finish it? I beg of you and my family not to try to remember the last rituals
or death after I died. My fiancé asked me to marry in June, but I don't think I
can be a good wife to
anyone, he would be able to live a better life without
me.
Telling my dad that I have a lot of things for my mom to do.
Evelyn's body was identified by her sister Helen and
according to her last wish, the body was burned instead of the last rites.
This photo was taken 4 minutes after the suicide of the
woman and the reason she called it the most beautiful suicide in the world is
that once you look at the picture it is difficult to lose sight.
In the picture, Evelyn looks upstairs or giggles as she
relaxes, it doesn't look like she was dead while she was on a car that was
badly pressed, and glasses were broken.
But in the picture the woman is holding a necklace of beads
in her hand and the body is laid in a manner similar to when resting or
sleeping.
When the woman hit the vehicle below, a loud explosion heard
the photographer run away and saved the image in the camera's eye.
This photo was published in Life Magazine on May 12, 1947 as
a Picture of the Week and was later published in several journals, while still
being used as it was in an album by Taylor Swift.
That is, Evelyn's last wish was not fulfilled even by dying
so that she would not be remembered but her name would be erased.
