A woman really wanted to get on an airplane in Phoenix. She wasn’t allowed to and she wasn’t happy. One thing lead to another and she was arrested. Next thing they know, she’s dead:
The events that led to Gotbaum’s death began when she became irate over not being allowed on a US Airways flight, though she was rebooked on a later flight, officials said.
Officers handcuffed her and took her to the holding room, where she kept screaming, authorities said. They checked on her when she became quiet and found her unresponsive, said Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill.
It appears Gotbaum may have tried to get out of her handcuffs, which ended up around her neck, Hill said. A medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the deceased. This unfortunate event reminds me that while people can choose thier actions, they cannot choose the consequences. There is very little worth your life. Choose carefully.
