NY Post Very Concerned with How ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Stunning’ This 19-Year-Old Suicide Victim Is

Madison Holleran, a 19-year-old UPenn track star, jumped to her death from a parking garage Friday night in what authorities are calling a suicide. Shortly before the incident Holleran posted a photo to her Instagram account of the nearby Rittenhouse Square, with no caption.

The Record, to which the Post’s article linked, managed to get through an entire article about Holleran without noting her looks, though it did catalog her many successes at running track.
