Stripper hurled / Woman plunges

Suede, the clubToday, New York's two tabloids go ahead to head over the same matter, which is nothing new. Dramatis personae: Sheila Cordell and boyfriend Edgar Ortega, aka DJ Tega at the club, Suede. But the Daily News goes the "Woman plunges 4 stories from East Side apt." route while the Post takes the "Stripper hurled out of window" road. The Daily News calls her a part-time real estate student, whereas the Post leads with her being a stripper, then mentions she's studying real estate. Gothamist admits to being sucked into the stripper angle - hats off to you, Col Allan (Editor-in-Chief at the post). It's a horrible story - falling 4 stories and having a broken neck. The Daily News doesn't call the boyfriend a suspect whereas the Post paints him as nothing but.

there is definitely something of "headless body found in topless bar" about this story- but i'm just too stupid to come up with the great headline this story deserves. any ideas?

"Stripper remixed by DJ boyfriend" etc.

That is so insensitive - someone died and you're making jokes, grow the fu*k up.

I knew and lived with Sheila when I was in NYC last year and spoke to her several weeks ago. She spoke of problems between them and I warned her to get away from the drug dealer creep that had given her a black eye several weeks ago. She did not know what to do and was trying to leave him. So this low life dirtball who couldn't handle rejection had to push her out a window to her death.
What a fucking loser!
Do the cops know he was a drug dealer?
Such a sad story but a lesson to pretty girls who date scumballs.
Someone needs to hurt this creep who killed a girl.

fuck you courtney. . he is not a scumball. . u don't even fucking know him so stop talking shit.
