Woman found in O'Hare airport baggage machinery was a suicide: police

Authorities are saying that the woman found dead inside the baggage claim of a North Carolina airport is being considered a suicide.

Virginia Christine Vinton, 57, was found "pinned" inside the baggage conveyor belt machinery at O'Hare International Airport on Thursday.

The medical examiner’s office has determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation from being hanged — declaring it a suicide, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
