Lost key

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A woman loses the keys to her apartment, and instead of just ringing the bell, so that her cousin could open the door, she decides to play stunt and tries to climb into the apartment through the window on the second floor. She then slips, falls and dies.

This was taken from a news headline from O Globo newspaper, one of Brazil's largest. Check it out: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rio de Janeiro, June 23rd, 2003

Woman dies after falling from apartment building in Flamengo

RIO - 23 year old Marcia Rejane died last nigh after falling from a height of around 15 feet. She was attempting to break into her own apartment, where she lived with a cousin, on 80 Senador Vergueiro Street, in Flamengo [one of Rio de Janeiro's neighborhoods]. According to the police, Marcia had lost the keys to her home and was trying to break into the apartment through the window, by climbing the building's parapet, around 23h40m. She slipped and fell from the second story, hitting her head on the ground. She had instant death.

jacks right, a better write up would make it fly, (unlike the lady in the story)

I don't know - perhaps with a better writeup, it might fly - but I'm really too tired to judge.
