The Curiously Realistic Decoration

What was thought to be your typically charming Halloween decoration depicting a lynched woman hanging from a tree, turned out to be a genuine suicide.

In the town of Frederica, Delaware, a 42-year-old woman hung herself from a tree near a busy road on a Tuesday night. The body managed to hang there until the next day and was viewed by many unwitting spectators before somebody realized it wasn't a decoration and finally called the police.
