I know this building.

Take a look at the pic and the bent metal rails, which do indeed look odd there:

Interesting pic.

I just assumed the railing broke away from the building structure, but that bent section looks quite robust and surely took significant force to yield it.

I’m not sure those rails, which have presumably been leaned on before, would just BEND like that out of nowhere. I can see a weld failure and break. But not BENT like that.

I became suspicious of the circumstances when I saw the bend. Maybe she turned him down for sex on the balcony, there was a struggle whereupon the rail bent and she fell over.

I lived in that metro area for a while. I’ve been on many of those types of rail edged balconies. I’ve never seen one that I might suspect would BEND if you pushed on it. Break from weld/metal failure, sure, but not bend.

My spidey sense is tingling.
