She had nice... cameras
very artistic mirror shot

That's actually a doorway shot, not a mirror shot. You can see the back of the open door near the jamb.

Easy to misconstrue, though. It certainly looks like a mirror shot. That would, of course, mean that she'd hung herself directly across from a full-length mirror, which would have had its own macabre implications.

And yes, because she allegedly used one hand to hold onto the window, it is clear that she lifted her hands and clutched at the noose after dropping her weight, not before. The fingers of both hands were caught against the inside of the noose/drawstring, but she had to have put them there after starting the process, not before.

One typically blacks out fairly quickly if a thicker noose/ligature is used (a scarf, a towel, a rope, etc), but it may have taken longer with this thin little drawstring because of how the pressure is applied to the carotids. Hard to say for sure how long she went before blacking out, though almost certainly not longer than 30 seconds at the outside...but she was definitely grabbing at that noose when she died.

Is it customary to take pictures of her leaking ass? I mean let her go in peace. Why disgrace someone by taking pictures of the 'wetness' of her death? Unless they always do that. Never really seen much of that going on in other pictures.

Those photos are always taken as part of the documentation of the crime/death scene. A typical suicide like this would have anywhere from 40 to 200 individual photos taken of the body and the surroundings. They are specifically supposed to document any sort of fluid/foreign matter/etc that appears on clothing or on the surrounding surfaces. This includes urine, blood, vomit, feces, unidentified substances, etc. All part of documenting evidence.

The reason you do not typically see these 'focused' photos around here is because 95% of the images we post here are sourced from journalists or bystanders. They take only a handful of photos for their blogs and newspapers and typically not ones focusing on things like piss-soaked pants or nudity, etc.

Several of the images in this set, however, WERE taken by scene personnel and published in a limited fashion because there was a lot of public outcry about her death. The confused public were angry that her hands were caught in the noose and that she had no visible means of elevation.

The photo that features the closeup of the urine was posted by a cop working the scene.

Sorry for the long-winded reply, but hopefully this answers your question.

tl;dr These types of detailed photos are taken all of the time, we just rarely see them posted due to sourcing.
