On A Pale Horse

Suicide is a strange thing...sometimes people don't see it coming...they see the person as being successful and happy with many things ahead of them and wonder why the hell a they would want to throw it all away. That's why many people close to Adrienne Shelly were baffled when it was reported that she was found hanging from a bed sheet in her Greenwich Village office, as well they should have been.

Ms.Shelly started her career as an actress first gaining critical acclaim in the films 'The Unbelievable Truth' and 'Trust'. Later her talents turned to writing and directing indie films and won a Film Discovery Jury Award for direction in 2000 at the US Comedy Arts Festival for the film 'I'll Take You There'.

Her death was first reported as an apparent suicide with an asterisk, because police were waiting for results of an autopsy. As it turns out the police hunches were right. On November 6th police arrested 19 year old, illegal immigrant, Diego Pillco on suspicion of murder.
