her husband, was crying beside her body and was trying to prevent the media from taking pictures and video.

This tragic attempt at dignity is reported to sound like criticism. Spoiling their photos (but they got them anyway didn't they).

My condolences to the husband and those left behind. Suicide, if that was the cause of death, is very difficult for the survivors to live with.

about 2 seconds after falling i would imagine, on impact with the floor
