Halloween Mistake:" Delaware -The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road, state police said. The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles. Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later."They thought it was a Halloween decoration," Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, told The (Wilmington) News Journal
. You know what is sad about this is no one even missed her enough to go look for her, only to then find her hanging dead right out in plain sight and everyone thinking your just a prop."
