when people commit suicide by jumping off the South Street bridge, it's not the impact with the water that kills them. the bridge simply isn't high enough in the air. no, instead, they sink to the relatively shallow bottom of the Schuylkill River and get stuck in the mud on the river bed. there, they drown.
about four days later, their bloated bodies rise to the surface, their faces disfigured from the stress of drowning. then they wash up on shore, to be discovered by an observant jogger.
glamorous.
