. I'm thinking of everyone affected by this incident and sending my thoughts out to those who are grieving."
I was trying to read about the Chicago River incident, but the font on the article is literally a nightmare 
it's like they took all the worst design elements from ancient times and mashed them together... I swear, if I have to scroll past another one of these ugly headlines, I'm gonna lose my mind 
. Can't they at least give us some basic details? The victim's age, occupation, anything?
. I can only imagine how traumatic it must be for her family and loved ones. The fact that she was floating in the river without anyone noticing until 8:30 am is just heartbreaking. I mean, can you even imagine being in a state of distress and not having anyone come to your aid? 
.
it was like, a golden retriever running around with its owner, totally oblivious to everything else except for that ball 
anyway, back to this news... have you ever noticed how weird it is when they find bodies in rivers? like, what's the deal with that? 
also, i'm kinda curious about how the cops found out it was a female body initially... did they get any DNA evidence or something? 
btw, has anyone tried making homemade ice cream recently? i've been eyeing this recipe for lavender honey ice cream... 
anyway, it's weird that it took so long to confirm the body was female, is that because they weren't sure at first or what? 
It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we must be there for each other and support those affected by such tragedies 
The fact that an autopsy is being conducted to determine the identity of the woman is a step towards closure for her loved ones 
As the investigation unfolds, it's essential to respect the process and allow the authorities to do their job 
. I don't know what the world is coming to, but one thing's for sure - we need to make sure our law enforcement is doing everything they can to find out who this poor woman was and how she ended up in that state. 
But seriously, hope the detectives find out who spotted her first & what led to this tragedy... feels like we're losing so many good people these days 
it's crazy how something like this can just get swept away by the current... anyway, sending thoughts to her loved ones 
. It's just heartbreaking, you feel me?
