the problem isn't getting the hands over the head, some people have double jointed shoulders and can do that. But once you did, how do you strangle yourself? Your arms would be extended above your head, not wrapped around your neck. And wouldn't she be in such a position when cops entered the room? You're a detective looking at her body, is she all contorted with the chain around her throat?

Even if she managed to navigate the chain on the cuffs to her neck, I don't think you could even strangle yourself with the chain since it's only 2 inches long.

My guess is she was flexible enough to get them up over her head, but after that point her joints were locked up and the chain was stuck on her neck with no way of moving it.

A better strategy would have been to just go under the legs, but hey people are stupid.

Not likely possible given the length of a handcuff chain. The explanation given is total BS.

More likely is whatever drugs she was on caused her heart to stop, and as she expired she tried to move the cuffs to her neck area. It is good, one less junkie in the airports.

Drugs? Where drugs? Who said drugs?

This just screams junkie.

Airport witnesses told police Friday that Gotbaum was "very loud, she was yelling and screaming and running around the concourse area," said Hill. Police "could not calm her down" and "it was very difficult for them to get her handcuffed." However, arresting officers "did not have to pepper spray her or [use a TASER device] on her or anything else," Hill said.

Traveling alone, Gotbaum rebooked on a following flight, but "she became extremely irate, apparently running up and down the gate area," airline spokesman Derek Hanna told the Daily News.

Airport workers who witnessed the arrest told the Daily News that Gotbaum was screaming, "I'm not a terrorist! I'm a sick mom! I need help!"

A police officer put his knee in Gotbaum's back to restrain her while other arresting police grabbed her flailing arms, one worker told the Daily News.

"I believe she was a little not-there," the worker told the newspaper. "She kept punching. She kept screaming. She kept kicking. She looked really scared, really frightened. I think she was afraid to go to jail."

Why can't that happen to Rush Limbaugh?

Darwinism is when people kill themselves in embarrassing ways

Like the kid who blew up a hornet's nest and the explosion broke the window to the house he was hiding in, the hornets tracked him down and he died from the stings.

That's funny, ina grim way. This woman is still stupid.

It would be tragic if it did, he is four times the man you think you are, hopefully he will lose some weight however so that he can reclaim his hearing and forward mobility.

If I ever toke up and run around in an airport like a little girl without her salt shaker, then by all means tie me up strangle me and claim I did it. But you will never get that chance.

But you do the equivalent to that here.

Is that better that giving someone your credit card after crashing into them?

that's why I think it's a cover up. I was kind of joking, but something is really suspicious about this.

Although i would think a man wouldn't just kill a woman from police brutatlity. Most men don't beat up on women. Now if it were a black man, I would be sure they were covering something up.

[SlowwHand]

I wouldn't be a cop for anything. No matter what they do, maybe they're up to something.
Maybe they are, like arresting criminals. I fully expect Dis to get a knock on the door someday.
