Meagan Bly (20) jumped to her death from a building on her birthday

[beli]

From Reddit -

I was walking down the street with my husband. A little bit down the street, and on the other side, was a hotel. The bottom 5 or 6 floors of the hotel consisted of a parking garage. There was some commotion going on at the hotel. A woman was making a lot of noise.. I can't remember the details, but it was an unusual sound so the noise attracted my attention.
To my horror, a woman suddenly fell about 5 stories from the building and onto the street.
I couldn't believe my eyes. My first thought when seeing the woman appear was that she was just a life-sized doll, and someone was pulling a prank on passerbys. I was expecting to get interviewed for some stupid reality tv show.. But, no, no tv crew appeared.
There were a handful of other witnesses, who all looked horrified. One of them called the police, as did the hotel concierge. My husband and I stuck around in case they needed eye witnesses. We didn't get close to the body at all, we stayed on the other side of the street. I didn't ever see her face. She seemed really young, maybe in her early 20s. She had bright pink hair, with a small patch of purple or blue (I can't remember now).
I keep thinking about the incident and want to reach out to the reddit community to see if anyone heard about this, knew the girl, or had any other thoughts about it. I've never seen anyone die before in real life, it's truly disturbing.
(I've kept some of the details out, just in case. Also, not sure if I should even be sharing this info at all, but I don't think there was any foul play.)
UPDATE: since the question has come up, and I suppose I'm being overly cautious for no reason, I will post the location of the incident: it took place in Seattle.
I also want to say thanks to everyone that has commented on this post. It's been really helpful for me to hear your thoughts and share my experience with you.
UPDATE 2: my husband and I are heading out, going to try to go take our minds off of everything. Thanks again for all the comments. I really appreciated them all.
UPDATE 3: RIP Meagan Bly :( :( :( http://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comm..._71412_at_4pm/
UPDATE 4 I have removed most of the details of the incident out of respect for Meagan, her family, and friends.

Smart of them not to be looky loos and gawk over her. I can't imagine how traumatizing it was just to see the actual fall.

I wonder why she did it? She looks so.. happy?

[g r ee n ey e s]

She was considered missing at some point..

She has BRIGHT pink hair now. Super hard to miss!

Meagan we love you we hope you are okay. We are so worried.

Yea, I totally would have been a looky loo. And another birthday suicider. So strange. I guess it's a depressing day. I hate mine, but I never know if I hate it because it's my birthday, or if I hate it because it's Christmas. Anyway, sad. She was a cutie.

Awww. Reminds me of Rainbow Brite.

[g r ee n ey e s]

I loved Rainbow Brite.

She was totally cute. And seemed to be into cute things, maybe she was pushed?

[Artemis]

That's what I was thinking. I'm sure they investigated and all, but I'm still suspicious.

I wonder what type of noises she was making. Crying? Screaming?

She was also part of Seattle's "Lolitas".

She was also part of Seattle's "Lolitas".

Yeah, what does that mean?

[nestlequikie]

It's a subculture (and it has subcultures too -Goth lolitas for example). Hers was to dress in bright, childlike clothing. Childlike hair and makeup. But there are sexual overtones IMHO, too. It makes interesting reading.

[g r ee n ey e s]

Like a Hentai subculture? I am going to have to look this shit up..

[g r ee n ey e s]

I think she was pushed.

And wow. It's basically a fascination with fucking school girls/young girls cosplay.

[RemmyRuger]

This story in particular pulls at my heart strings.

[Artemis]

Interesting subculture to read about.

The only thing that makes me not too sure she was pushed was the reddit person saying she was making noises. I still want to know about that. :-(

Wow. When I had my attempt it was Christmas, so I can kinda understand what is going through your mind on big events like a birthday or whatever. But still..I would like to know what happened before she fell. It sounds weird to me like something isn't adding up, ya know?

Also I would've looked and probably been traumatized.

i was gonna say she looked like some kind of weird harajuku rainbow brite streetwalker, but "lolita" hits it right on the head.

her utter dedication to it seems kind of "off" to me, mentally speaking.

Here is Meagan's tumblr if anyone is interested. After going back a few pages, I haven't found any original posts, just a lot of creepy photo reblogs (some guts and gore, creepy broken dolls, that sort of stuff) mixed with the occasional funny/cute photo. Still a glimpse into her, though.

Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, that's weird. Maybe she was rambling or arguing with her self type of commotion. Interesting. I wanna know.
