Could she swim? Maybe she fell into the river and couldn't reach shore.

So very sad for Arielle and her loved ones. May her family find comfort eventually in their precious memories of Arielle.

So sad. Arielle, we were rooting for you, but you had other places to go. My sincere condolences to her family.

Rest in peace, young lady.

No foul play involved? So she just jumped from the bridge? There must be more to this story.

Injuries consistent with foul play are usually obviously (despite what you may see on TV, it's incredibly difficult to pick up a hundred+ pound resisting individual and just toss them over a railing - unless you're the Incredible Hunk). Vehicular pedestrian accident would be more likely, but the ME would likely find evidence of that. The severity of injury depends on vehicle speed, the angle of impact of the vehicle/pedestrian (and the person's center of gravity) the part of the body that first comes into contact with the vehicle, (and conversely, the part of the vehicle the pedestrian impacts first), as well as the vehicle design. Most injuries arising from such impact accidents (in adults) are trauma to the head, legs and pelvis, tibial plateau fractures and ligamentous injuries of the knee, and head injuries (TBI). That would be evident to the ME or coroner assisting with the recovery of the remains and the death investigation. They don't usually say "no foul play" without ME input, at least not in my experience. No matter what happened, she is gone, dearly missed, and deeply loved. I hope she is at peace now.

Love and light to Arielle’s family. What a sad outcome to hear this afternoon.

I'm so sad you were right

My thoughts are with her family and all those who loved Arielle, what a horrible loss for them all.

 

[MollyHarps]

Such a sad outcome. I did think from early on this was the likely outcome when her family stated that she’d been struggling recently.

Thoughts go out to her family.

I hope you’re at peace now Arielle

Sleep easy Arielle.

One last thought is I think a lot of us were struggling with why LE wouldn’t say they had footage of her either jumping off the bridge, or acknowledge the lack of evidence she made it to the other side. I assumed it was to save the family heartache until her body was recovered, but now I am thinking that it was to prevent any copycats. That is not a bridge I would think to end my life on. Everyone here knows how many suicides happen on big bridges like the Skyway Bridge in St Pete, FL, before they put up the barricades. I hope no one else now sees this bridge as a way out.

Heartbreaking. Prayers are with her family
