Anyone else here this story? It's just really weird since I used to go to that restraunt all the time, and still do on occasions. She was part of a Bridal party. I think it was the rehearsal dinner. Weird thing is, I live right down the road from The Ivy League. It's such a freak accident though.

It was after the reherseal dinner for her best friends wedding who was outside with her. She was the brides mate in the wedding that was on the coming saturday. She had just gone outside to check that her windows were closed. The best man was also out there with her and fell to his knees but was fine. He then saw her laying in the parking lot face down and thought she was probably scared. But then he turned her over and she wasn't awake. They cancelled the wedding for now, die to her death. The lady Cindy also had a 12 year old daughter who goes to my old middle school. Then also she has 2 other children, and 2 grandchildren. I feel so bad for the daughter not having her mother to grow older around, and for the grandchildren.
