Woman Strangles Herself

A young woman was being paid to perform a self-strangulation sex act via webcam, and she died of suffocation while the voyeur looked on. Apparently her instinct for self-preservation did not override her greed to earn more money by pulling the noose tighter. Killing yourself for money - intentionally or unintentionally - has to be the epitome of Darwinism. A runner-up for the award should go to the woman's mother who felt that her daughter's death could have been avoided by better "regulation" of the "industry."

If she was smart she would have just simulated the act. The guy watching her on the webcam likely would have never known the difference... Thanks, Lisa.

Wow. It would have been worth shelling out for a few acting classes, instead of paying with her life.
