This is both a sad and absurd story.
Why on earth would a gorgeous former Miss America and practicing lawyer kill herself?
Oh, she was depressed that she had turned thirty. 😉
Oy, the victimhood!
So she could not just meet a nice guy, settle down, and have a family???
Btw, I witnessed in Philadelphia the aftermath of a suicide, on John F. Kennedy Boulevard. It was the same MO, jumping off a building.
Guess what? The pink little pieces of brain and white skull splattered all over the sidewalk. The white sheet only covered the corpse, not the fifty-foot SPLAT.
Thanks very much, lady. I guesss only you had problems….. Everyone else’s life was perfect.
As we said in Pittsburgh, “Quit’cher whining.” 😉
The new religion will kill the egoic mind in us that ruins this world.
The Third Reich proved that earth could in fact be a very happy place. 🙂
And this is the key:
“You are nothing; ypur folk is everything!” 🙂
If you are depressed, go help someone else!

Police sources told The New York Post that Kryst left a note behind for her mom April Simpkins, who was awarded the gong of Mrs. North Carolina in 2002.
She is said to have “wanted to leave everything” to her beauty pageant mom.
Following Cheslie’s death, a statement from the Kryst family read: “In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie.”
They added: “Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength.
“She cares, she loved, she laughed and she shined.
“Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney or fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on EXTRA.
“But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor, and colleague – we know her impact will live on.”
CHILLING LAST POST
Hours before her death, Kryst uploaded a chilling post on Instagram of herself captioned: “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
Dozens of tributes have poured in as news of her death emerged.
American actress and 2015’s Miss USA Olivia Jordan said: “Rest peacefully sister. The world will miss you and the light you shone so bright.”
ExtraTV also took to their Instagram account to share a tribute to the late correspondent.
The organization said: “Our hearts are broken. Cheslie was not just a vital part of our show, she was a beloved part of our ‘Extra’ family and touched the entire staff.”
‘HEARTS ARE BROKEN’
And the official Miss America Twitter account posted: “We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Cheslie Kryst, Miss USA 2019.
“Cheslie was an incredible example and a role model for so many. We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all those who knew her.”
Last year, Kryst wrote a now-heartbreaking essay about turning 30.
She discussed her struggles with aging, her work ethic, and her search for purpose.
In the essay, she penned: “Turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes – and it’s infuriating.”
Kryst also practiced law in both North and South Carolina, with a focus on civil litigation.
She founded the fashion blog White Collar Glam, which focused on helping women dress professionally on the job.
In 2019, she was crowned Miss North Carolina and represented the US at the Miss Universe pageant in December that year.
You’re not alone
SUICIDE is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Leading Causes of Death Report from 2018.
There were “more than two and half times as many suicides” in the US than there were homicides, according to the report.
For people ages 10 and 34, suicide was the “second leading cause of death” and the fourth for individuals ages 35 to 54.
Suicide is a vital health concern in the U.S. It affects all genders, races and ages.
