Teacher Gemma Garn her Severn crossing death 'mystery'.

On December 18th 2009 after a long night of celebration Gemma Garn got into her car to drive home, but never got there. Instead six weeks later her body was found 20 miles downstream in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan by a fisherman. Family and friends are left in limbo about the real cause of death. Though an informant heard Ms Garn had drunk cider and wine after taking amphetamine that may have resulted in het following death. The family and friends would just want to know what really happened, to get some closure by just stating a cause of death. If only there had been more camera supervision on the bridge crossing. According to coroner David Bowen the explanation may be as simple as getting out of the car to take some air, tripping and falling of the bridge, but we can never be sure it happened the way we think it did. Her death will forever remain a mystery and so the community mourns the loss of a much loved member of their society.

My reaction:

After having read this newspaper article I felt really said for the family and friends of Gemma Garn. It is one thing to lose a friend or relative but I can imagine the not knowing what really happened can drive you crazy When you do not know what has happened how can you cope with it?, how can you put it behind you?, how can you mourn when you do not know the truth?. I have asked myself all of these questions over and over again and now I share them with all you bloggers out there, maybe one of you will know the answer.
