According to the caption: "This unfortunate woman was found dead on parkland in Yorkshire, England. She's believed to have been pierced by a shaft of frozen urine which had fallen from a leak in a toilet facility of an overhead plane."
What do you think? Is the picture real or phony?

Fake. I find it hard to believe a shaft of urine would strike her in the torso like that unless she was sleeping in that field.
If it was from a plane, it would drive down through her skull.

Fake for sure. Planes use that blue chemical to treat waste, if it was a leak it would be much smaller and more frequent quantities, and would not have driven into the body at that angle.

It's real, no doubt.
My grandfather died this way. That, or the rumors about my grandmother killing him for the insurance money was true after all...

Real, for surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.
That's how people found out about really good javelin throwers who descended from heaven back in the 3rd century BC.

My vote goes with the fake side. Even for a corpse, her face is awfully white!

It certainly looks fake and, besides, if it had really happened, there would have been something in the UK newspapers, and there hasn't been.

Think about it--leaking from a plane,the urine would not be frozen into a shaft,but rather,it would have been wind blown.In the coldest weather,throw a cup of water out of a moving car. It AIN'T going to be in a shaft shape.

Fake, and rather obviously at that. Her face is a ghostly white, yet what appear to be bloodstained legs are below that on the body and they are a normal color. Also, the blood was red. If there had been time for the face to become that white, the blood would have turned a dark brown or black.
Additionally, we don't see the point of impact, nor do we see all of her right arm. It looks as though she may be holding the 'shaft' with her arm or hand. I also was suspicious of the size of the shaft.

It's real, for sure. 1 out of 10 people die this way. I hope Don Imus takes one through his shriveled head tomorrow. Baba Booey!!!
