A Suicide At Notre Dame Cathedral In Paris Kills A 22 Year Old American Girl By Falling On Her October 1964

I remember reading this in the newspaper in October 1964. I had just returned from Paris the month before.
I have never forgotten it.

PARIS, Oct. 2 -- A 22-year-old American woman was killed today outside Notre Dame Cathedral when another woman, in an apparent suicide leap, plunged on her from the north tower of the cathedral.
