The story behind this image will blow your mind.



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.
