    I was going to ask why there is a twitter account that follows the suicide deaths on the "Skyway Bridge"...
    but here I am on a website that documents everyones deaths.

    Also what does it mean "Body has yet to be found."???

    Sometimes they don't ever find the bodies after people jump. I don't know if they get caught up in the currents and get pulled out to sea or they sink. It's not common, but it happens sometimes when people jump at the Skyway.

    I'm not surprised that happens - it's a huge expanse of water. It's giving me the horrors just thinking about swimming in it


    Also, we need a vibrating shudder emoji for whenever I read a deep, deep water post

    I hope it helps but the skyway is long and huge. I'm not sure if that's a long enough.
