Evelyn Francis McHale (September 20, 1923 – May 1, 1947) was an American bookkeeper who committed suicide by jumping from the 86th floor Observation Deck of the Empire State Building on May 1, 1947.
A photograph taken four minutes after her death by photography student, Robert Wiles, is now considered among the most iconic suicide photographs in history, referred to as "the most beautiful suicide".
