Ah, yes. Isadora. The first thing I thought of as well.

Isadora Duncan 2.0

The first thing I thought of too. I am trying to figure this out. If the scarf is around her neck, and the escalator steps are at her feet, did she bend down to adjust something?

A gentleman should carry a knife. You acquitted yourself admirably, sir.

Aruh? Was that intended for me? If so, I’m not following your point.

The link at #15 says that Isadora Duncan was also killed by an entangled scarf.

not enough info to tell if she qualifies for a Darwin or not

From the Toronto Sun article, her lifestyle choice would indicate yes. "Odd" that the CBC omitted any detail that it was a hijab.

Unbelievable! Not you, the CBC!

They are so adamant about protecting Islam that not a single important fact like that will let them report truthfully!

At first I had to wonder if it was a Dr. Who type really long scarf.

Probably illegal!

Another version of this story has the woman as a muzzie and it was her headscarf that became entangled.
