      Sad way to go indeed. She seemed to always be high. Really sorry for her loss.

    Too many inconsistencies in the stories. Abs say she was attempting to get on the truck when she slipped. Now I’m reading she was dancing and fell. Ok I’ll wait to hear what the son says.
    Condolences to you and your family young man. This is really sad

      Most likely ABS is right. They are State Media, they were there on the scene and would’ve gotten the police statements and people around. The news outlet is what they hear different people say. And people always have something to say.
