I only intended my thread to be a discussion on the physics of the incident, and for people to give theoretical possibilities as to what happened - perhaps I should have posted it in the "members only" section, just in case a relative of the poor lady happened across this website.
I fully understand why the thread was locked, and I have no issues with the moderating, but I do agree that it seems a touch ott to lock a thread where nothing extremely offensive was said, but again, I wouldn't want the death of someone close to me to be discussed by a group of random strangers on the internet, on a publicly accessible forum.
But my apologies, I've been stirring up trouble here! The young ones are the evillest, aren't they?
