Wirephoto published in the Tribune newspaper in 1957. Purchased by David Hurn from MMG Photo Archives.
Full title: End of a young life. Olga Cassanova, 14, plunges to her death in an 11-story drop from a Manhattan hotel room last night after defying police desperately trying to snatch her from a window ledge. The girl, apparently angered by a scolding from the aunt with whom she lived, came to New York from the Virgin Islands in 1955.
The photograph is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the librarian of the Baltimore Sun Archives Paul M McCardell.
