A contestant from the hit reality show American Idol committed suicide via drug overdose near the residence of Paula Abdul. At first I thought it was because she sang so badly and received a bashing from the judges, so she was ending her life because she couldn’t sing. Well I was almost right, Paula Godspeed did sing very badly and she received negative reviews from the judges. Even Simon said she has too much metal in her mouth (she was wearing braces).
In actual fact, Ms Godspeed was a fan of Paula Abdul - a crazed fan. Her license plate reads “ABL LV” (Abdul Love). She has been stalking Ms Abdul and she and her staff even knew about her. A mental health expert says this is her last resort to link herself to her idol, which is to die near her residence.
Well it doesn’t surprise me, I think there are a lot of crazy people auditioning for that show. I even remember a guy with multiple voices haha.
Anyway, here’s a video of the late Ms Godpspeed during her audition.

A man committed suicide in New Mexico but wanted to make it look like he was murdered, most probably to double the insurance claim his family can get if his death was accidental. He removed the grip and trigger guard from the gun to make it lighter, tied helium balloons to it, covered his mouth with duct tape, and somehow managed to shoot himself in the back of the head.
He was hoping that the balloons would fly away with the gun. It didn’t work however as the balloon got stuck to a bush near him. I guess he forgot to consider the wind that could alter the balloon’s path. Police investigators has ruled it was suicide and has seen the similarities with an episode from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation which was aired in October 2003.
However they are not sure if the man saw the episode.
