Clues
- Fell from chair
- Unplugged lamp
- Mid way writing a letter.
- Fairly neat, no broken vases etc, although ashtray semi full, not ashing on floor or anything.
- Cigarette ia unfinished in hand.
- Her body was turned AWAY from the letter when she was on the chair, moments before death.
I believe it was suicide.
She was writing a letter, with no envelopes nearby, so quite possibly a suicide note. The lamp is disconnected, unlikely by accident. She has been chain smoking or she is not neat, which does not seem to be the case by the looks of her room. Her glasses were off. At forst I thought someone entered the house, but would she take off her glasses to turn around?
One of the buggest clues is her position. It looks as though she turned away from the window and shot herself from the side. If it was somebody who just came in, wouldn't she look directly at them, and therefore get shot in the front?
Interesting idea, my only problem is, how can someone fall of the chair and still hold that cigarette. Makes me think it has been planted there after the murder has been committed to make it look like suicide, probably the letter and gun too. I was thinking it could be a boyfriend or husband that has done something wrong, felt guilty, maybe an ex, because of the flowers. A boyfriend would have the keys to her apartment and let himself in, and she didn't get up from the chair to let anyone in. she is dressed casually, so she felt at home, with no expectation of danger. I think it looks like it was suicide, too many clues for it. But if she killed herself, she would finish her last cigarette first and if she fell with the cigarette in hand, the cigarette would fall somwhere.
