Airport holding cells prolly do not have bars all the way to the ceiling. She prolly tried to pry them off with something above her head and slipped off a chair and hung herself. Odd story anyhoo.
Okay, 99.9% of the time when you get handcuffed they put your hands behind your back. Some people, if they're flexible or thin enough, have no problem slipping the cuffs around their butts and getting them in from of their bodies. but that's STILL nowhere near your head/neck/throat ...
Even if she was trying to pry the cuffs off and slipped somehow and one of her arms got pulled so far back that her biceps was exerting pressure on her throat you can still turn your head so that you can breath. Unless she knocked herself out somehow?
I hate to say it but this is literally a case of her dying from her own shitty attitude. If she hadn't thrown a hissy fit, she never would have been cuffed to begin with, and she'd be home with her family right now. Instead she's dead from a dumb accident, for an even dumber fucking reason.
I dunno, sounds like to me there were other factors. I mean, how in the hell can you choke yourself trying to get out of handcuffs? That is THE LAMEST shit I have ever heard.
I also can't understand yelling and screaming because you are late for a flight and they don't let you board....
I still say this story is so bizaare that there must have been foul play and this was *the best* BS explanation "authority" could come up with. I bet they choked her out just to get her crazy ass to shut the fuck up.
