Ohio State Grad's mother suffers fatal fall from stadium during graduation ceremony

What a bitch!

Indeed, R1.

How cruel to do that to you child on their graduation day.

Totally selfish.

Did she disapprove of her daughter’s major or something?

But seriously, this is fucked up.

That is so awful. That poor guy.

"I didn't bring you into this world to be upstaged by you!"

[quote] She was identified by her fingerprints.

Really? Was her body so splattered that they needed fingerprints?

my question too r6

According to the Columbus Dispatch,

[quote]Brady had suffered from mental health issues and had attempted suicide at least twice before, most recently earlier this year, according to the coroner's office. Her husband told investigators that she had not been compliant with her medications.

If this is paywalled, I apologize:

"The Ohio State University Grad's mother ..."

"And on the day of my graduation, my mother graduated too. From life. And what a rich and fulfilling life it was."

She fell right as the last graduates were entering the stadium before the ceremony.

Some of them had to walk past the taped off area and saw what had happened.

That is so fucked up.

I believe that Mara Hobel said it best....

Textbook borderline personality disorder.

“Mom, your sooooo embarrassing!” - eyeroll.

One of those mothers who must always be the center of attention and/or outshine their children….

Murdoch NY Post links give clickdollars and SEO to people who hate gays.

I don't understand how this could have happened. Isn't there a safety barrier in the stadium designed to prevent these sorts of things from happening? Did she climb up to some place from which she could jump? This just sounds so bizarre.

Her family must be devastated, so my heart goes out to them. What a horrible situation to experience.

Some of you don't seem to understand the article. She didn't fall, she jumped. And the "poor guy" is her daughter.

[quote]Really? Was her body so splattered that they needed fingerprints?

She jumped from a136 foot tall stadium, R6 — I hoped someone hosed off the pavement before the graduation procession walked by.

what an attention seeking nasty cunt

This is something Mommie Dearest would do.

Random flying T-shirts are a thing. If it can happen to Maude Flanders, it can happen to any of us.

Look at me, Damien. It’s all for you.

*sigh*

Fucking humans

Why Make Me the Accessory?

Come on dowwwwwwn!

What sort of nutty narcissist commits suicide at her kid's graduation.

You are one piece of work if you'd do something like that. Of course, we know that she didn't actually intend to die, but merely gain attention because she was OUTRAGED that all the attention was not on her on her kid's graduation day from college.

You don't pull a stunt like that because you're suicidal and want to die. You pull a stunt like that because you're utterly self-absorbed and unable to conceive a world where all attention is not on you.

R23, the was my first thought, too!

How do we know this is a suicide, and not unsafe conditions being papered over by the police?

Good god. Thats like 13 stories.

And clearly head first as they identified by fingerprints.

Thats horrific.

[quote] Of course, we know that she didn't actually intend to die

Anybody who jumps from 130 feet up wants to die. But she definitely wanted to do it as a big "fuck you" to her daughter, and to be the center of attention.

Well, mission accomplished.

And this bitch has balls- I am telling you now- She DOVE- she did not jump.

(hence the fingerprints)

From the linked article:

Brady spoke to her daughter as she entered the stadium for commencement, according to the coroner's report.

Brady then went into the stadium with her husband and 12-year-old son to sit and watch the ceremony, according to an investigative report from the coroner's office. Once seated, Brady then told her family she wanted to move higher into the stadium and her family told investigators they lost sight of her.

After making her way to the last row of benches, witnesses saw Brady climb over the stadium's concrete wall, according to the coroner's office. Brady had been sitting in section C30 near the bell tower.

Brady had suffered from mental health issues and had attempted suicide at least twice before, most recently earlier this year, according to the coroner's office. Her husband told investigators that she had not been compliant with her medications.

[quote]And this bitch has balls- I am telling you now- She DOVE- she did not jump.

If she landed on the valedictorian, it would have been a perfect 10.

And a perfect movie!

Wow she REALLY wanted to do a number on her kid.

The Horseshoe of Life

Chris Pan as the commencement speaker and a suicide? Shitty graduation ceremony.

I did it for you, Braighlee!

That stadium is enormous and to me, terrifying as you go higher. It's been added on to many times over the decades. It's a 100 years old.

R18 “ so my heart goes out to them”

What an idiotic thing to say

R27, she was mentally ill.

[quote] But she definitely wanted to do it as a big "fuck you" to her daughter, and to be the center of attention.

Cool story, bro.

Guys, she just didn’t want to sit through a 3+ hour boring ass graduation ceremony. This is understandable.

Hey fingerprints were on file??

You're a total cunt if you commit suicide this way. That's not "Cool story, bro". That's just the fucking truth. That poster was correct.

R12 did she stand during the graduation, after she fell??

R17 Dumbass self-serving comments just take up space (but it does make you feel better about yourself).

R17 must be a stupid cunt to think any activity on the internet can be ideologically pure. Let alone in life.

Sounds like she forced herself to stay alive til her daughter got her diploma.

[quote]Guys, she just didn’t want to sit through a 3+ hour boring ass graduation ceremony. This is understandable.

Or be in Columbus, maybe.

Yeah I have zero pity for people who commit suicide in this manner. Just like people who blow their heads off in front of their family or teachers who hang themselves to be found by students. There is sonething sociopathic, as in "I want you to experoence pain like I did". It's the relatives I feel bad for.

Living for the day pussycat GERONIMO!!!!!

She did it BEFORE her spawn's graduation.

Some parents just really dread their kids moving back in after college.

I'm sure they took three hours to identify her fingerprints to avoid spoiling the graduation. I mean dad was probably right there.

Sorry Bitch, but you’re strictly an amateur at using your suicide to fuck with your daughter.

R59 What is the reference?

I can't imagine wanting to attend a commencement that large.

That story at r58 is incredible.

[quote] I try to take advantage of the fact that she has her faculties to talk about our life, but I quickly realize there is no point. When I ask why she thinks our relationship has always been tenser than hers with my sister, she tells me, “You just became so nasty and difficult at 8.” She hands us no letters.

I felt sorry for the author, but I kept thinking what a blessing it really was for her and for everyone else this awful woman exited the world. She was like Livia Soprano, only meaner.

Shame on her husband for bringing that crazy bitch. And how convenient that the authorities had her fingerprints. She must have been arrested before in order for the police to have her prints on record. I feel so sorry for her daughter. But now she can get on with her life and have a fresh start after graduating without her nutty, SELFISH mother dragging her down. And if the daughter ever gets married at least she'll be able to have a nice wedding now

Did she say least scream "Free Palestine" as she jumped?

If not, a cunt indeed.

[quote] And if the daughter ever gets married at least she'll be able to have a nice wedding now

Thank goodness her mother offed herself now rather than when her daughter was having a destination wedding on a cliff side on Santorini.

r65, take your OCD medication.

R58- What an amazing story. That mother was a borderline personality disorder come to life.

I love the butch lesbo with a mullet part.

"OH FUCK! I DID NOT WANT TO FALL IN LOVE ON THIS TRIP!"

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

I feel bad for her in a way. Maybe she could have been helped.. I don't know anymore.

No joke, I diagnosed that cunt within 1/3 of the story, typed most of my response (about the butch lesbo) Then added my last line.

Borderline Personality is one of the "diseases" that scares me.

Spoiler-

This chick eat some random lady's pussy NEXT TO HER YOUNG DAUGHTER IN A TENT.

Jesus Christ.

The story of the Upper East Side lady is not interesting. It's a grim tale of of a miserable woman of means who lost joy and interest in life. Boo hoo hoo.

I'm really stunned by the woman's stratospheric selfishness at r58, as well as her daughters' bottomless wells of patience. I say this as someone with a narcissistic mother and I spent a few years in the mental health field at a crisis facility that had a rotating door with some BPDs and NPDs well-known to our county mental health system.

Just flabbergasted. I really feel for the author who hasn't been able to cast off the pretty much awful memories of her mother victimizing her.

[quote] The story of the Upper East Side lady is not interesting. It's a grim tale of of a miserable woman of means who lost joy and interest in life. Boo hoo hoo.

YOU sound just like Livia Soprano. Her favorite sneer towards her son Tony was, "Poor you!", which was apparently what David Chase's mother (who had BPD) spat out at him sarcastically whenever he was sad during his entire life.

That was damned inconsiderate.

Also, girl should have loved herself and done it peacefully.

If she’d only phoned…oh, wait.

She had just received the tuition bill.

^ Jimmy Kimmel

Did her bungee cord snap?

Maybe she didn’t like her seat.

Did she jump during the commencement speach? ^^^^^^^

She could have done us all a social service by jumping from a highway bridge onto a Trump voter.

The mom probably found out her daughter was fucking black guys all through college and couldn't handle it.

Has there been a lawsuit filed yet? Somebody's going to cash in on this.

She should have given me a call first.

"Her husband told investigators that she had not been compliant with her medications"

And we closed mental institutions for what reason?

R81 You're TERRIBLE! Come sit by me.

Guess she showed HER.

what a sad story

So she enrolled in the fall semester?

The punmaster general has arrived

I have an iPod submission but I didn't want to do to hell! What do I do?

GO to hell

FUCKING phone!

she had a peanut allergy and someone on the other side of the stadium ripped open a bag of nuts
