The Mysterious Death of Carol Anne Gotbaum

[rsoarch7]

Stupid humans.

[TheSkylur44]

The music is TERRIBLY inappropriate given the event.

[m29p29]

PIGS!

[Botie2]

This is what happens when you give teenagers a teaser, a gun, cuffs and a uniform and then ask them to deal with people that need professional help.

[DeadSonsgod]

The only fault here is that they should have kept an eye on her because she was so drugged up. In that they messed up.

[DeadSonsgod]

They found she had accidentally asphyxiated. The problem seems to stem from the fact you guys do not understand is that when they say chocked to death you get a mental image of strangulation. What most likely happened was because she had a blood alcohol level of .24 and was on meds was that she passed out fell down landed funny and chocked to death. A really stupid but tragic death. Really stupid but really tragic. Well heres a rule of thumb. Don't get drunk and throw things at people.

[DeadSonsgod]

She then spent the next five to ten minutes screaming in her cell. They only became concerned when she stopped screaming but did not check on her till later. When they came she to check on her she was dead and an autopsy revealed she accident chocked to death. Now some of you will go "That is because she was chocked to death by the police and they covered it up!" which is a fine thing to think because your dumb. The family had another coroner look at the body and you know what was found?

[DeadSonsgod]

Well its obvious we have some people on you tube who do not have any intelligence to go fact check so I will do it for you. She was a drunk who was on meds and had a little alcohol on her way to a rehab who could not get on to her flight as it had been overbooked. She got angry and started yelling and threw a pda at an employee so security was called in. They arrested her and took her to a back room.

[kissrdbc]

dam cops

[asoid101]

its the fucking cops....of course the strangled her, put some handcuffs on frontwards and see if u can choke urself....its cant be done

[TheNosta]

the music is wrong for this video

[phallius]

Wow, I can smell the de-evolution in here.

[doofusgerms]

Murderers with no justice

[lunafringe10]

nice music, brahms? beethoven? hehe small dicks but huge gaps in their skulls

[Dannyfriskme69]

cops/pigs can go to hell fat wankers!! poor woman !

[TACMAN518]

Cops don't care and only think in a one track mind set.. Everybody that acts funny or out of control isn't always a behavior/legal problem, sometimes it's medical problem.. Could be diabetes or anything.

[locant23]

what is this

[amyntut]

oh my god, poor lady, I feel so sorry for her and her family....she should be here today..

[tee895]

The cops did nothing wrong as usual. She was a nut and caused all of this herself. Stop looking to blame someone or something when a person is to blame.

[liberalinthedesertaz]

@tee895 oh really? so the cops should just be able to kill anyone because they are nuts? its people like you that have no compassion for anyone else.

[LeGette88]

cops dont work out nowadays.. the new trick is steriods.. god ... they all have such bulk bodies, and probably small dicks...

[GabrielMaderia]

I hope and sincerely pray for those faggot ass cops to suffer and endure the same fate. I hope they watch their loved ones suffer and the only answer they get is a simple " I'm sorry". then they can fucking just "deal with it"

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

Why hasn't somebody made a law for all cops to go through IQ tests before being able to enforce the law? Seriously, wtf?

[ancientclown]

@SCHIZOPHRENlC They don't want anybody with intelligence, they are looking for mindless robots that won't realize their job has very little to do with solving crime(less than 50% success rate at best, most in the 30% range) or protecting the innocent and everything to do with exerting CONTROL over the people.

It's not "To Serve & Protect" it's really "TO SERVE Ourselves & PROTECT the Rich".

"The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." -- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Are these the actions of a group of public servants that are assigned to protect and serve us? Is this what our society has become?

[topgun779]

Prayers to her and her family. To the people that refer cops... cops in general they are not all bad. There are some good one's and bad one's so why say cops in general. I would have said those particular cops were offset and did wrong. No reason to think all cops are bad, just like EVERY SINGLE JOB EVEN POLITICS, DRIVERS, SCHOOLS, BANKS, THERE are good and bad people everywhere... and no im not a cop... Prayers to her and her family though, that's sad.

[baysideful]

They killed her!

She should have been put in a straightjacket & taken to a hospital!

let the doctors handel her

She was probably in withdrawal!

No reason to kill her!!!

or anyone!!!

[emptyeiganjo]

how in the world would she strangle herself when she got handcuffed behind her back, i think the airline's story is complete bullshit

[DKDFG]

PIGS!

[suada16]

um.......i didn't see the death and how do you think its mysterious dealth

[dre19872005]

lmaooooooo evryones runniing lol

[suada16]

i know right that was funny i gusse they were about to miss ther flight or somthin

[southperth22]

the gotbaum family are a classic example of everything that is wrong with this world -they let there mentally disturbed wife/daughter in law travel alone to treatment , when she acts like a belligerant aggressive person and is rightfully arrested (she assualted airline staff) she then manages to strangle herself while thrashing around in the holding room...... and what does the gotbaum family do ?

file an 8 million dollar lawsuit.... a swine of a family who should be countersued themselves

[Crosisborg]

damn right

[soundandfury63]

I worked for several years as a psychiatrist in Sweden. I think it is pretty clear that this woman needed mental health care. The fact that the USA routinely locks up the mentally ill, and disregards their need for health care is another example of how brutally we "take care" of those in need of help, unless... MONEY. // In Sweden she would have been brought to an on-call psychiatrist at the nearest hospital.

You, I would say, are a classic example of everything that is wrong with this world.

[soundandfury63]

I mean really. Counter sued? I hope they win and open up some eyes in this country. She never should have been jailed, any possible criminal charges could wait.

This is an absolutely perfect example of how what is a routine treatment here, would be handled with humanity and skill through entirely different means in other parts of the world.

While you are at it, why not shoot the family dog? I expect they deserve it.

Cold bastard.

[Maratrushka]

panic attacks are more often in women, because a stressed life, missing a plane could be a reason to trigged these reactions but police is just savage to know these facts for they just know the restraining and force solution of everything! ASSHOLES!!

[TheJoyBoys]

nice cop shorts pig boy!!

[TheJoyBoys]

why not get her to a mental hospital??terrorist fears my ass!!does she look like she would yell//praise allah!!!//and blow up a fucking plane???fatso pigs too busy going on a donut run I imagine//left her to have a panic attack //then a mental breakdown//and a heart attack//stopped breathing///and its over!!!///cops fucked up again!!!and again and again and again!!

[Taveren22]

I Would KILL those "cops".

[Crosisborg]

no you wouldnt. you're a pussy

[Taveren22]

Your one to talk. I'd put you out of your misery too if life weren't doing it for me.

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

she died?

[530aftescho]

This is some riveting footage, aliceangel7. But why did you have Joseph Hyden's Trumphet Concerto as a soundtrack for this video?

'Just curious. :)

[THEREALMESSAGEMAN]

end of the world!!!!! begining of the NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

[PurpleNiobe]

Interesting choice of music for a topic so sad.

[Baldgol4]

Hyden's Trumpet Concerto

[ADHDw136IQ]

She showed classic signs of a panic attack.

[ferrari347]

aha those people stood there almost the whole time

[Carlonepapa]

Sad video. Poor kids.

Unpreppared cops with some authority and no intelligence. All around the world its the same problem.

[pimterror]

what the shit?

[leftsoul]

this is goofy worthless music so the video must be a huge fake . . next

[mrlowdangle]

lol 'goatbum'

ripbtw

[MaliceBloodlust]

She had been handcuffed behind her back but when Gotbaum was found, her hands were front of her and the handcuffs were up by her neck that is actually one thing that bothers me she could have possibly strangled herself but even then her hands could not possibly be out of the cuffs unless she some how managed to picke the locks and strangled herself with them

[CountVonPappenheim]

What is this song, please?

[theblackturnip]

Philip Glass- 'Osamu's Theme_ KYOKO'S HOUSE'. From the album 'Mishima'

[fearnotfear]

Anne (Got Bomb) Gotbaum. Bad name to tell the airport cops.

[sandiahead]

There's no mystery; her family sent her across the country in a poor mental state that the cops couldn't have been aware of. They set her up for failure and she failed end of story.

[karuspery]

TCDIESEL.Thank you, Darlingman. How is your Mama?

[tcdiesel1]

Fine, thanks for asking

[pamala6]

May God somehow touch her family and surround them with His love. This shows what is happening and it tells us in the Bible what it is all about. This tears me up and where is the compassion in this world? Gone.

[webheadz]

You're right...people don't care anymore. Well at least not enough of them care.

[quickfixyz]

its a dog eat dog American capitalism.. grab all you can , while you can.

[135797524]

you wonder why they get a bad rap is because how many people are dieng fo ridiculous BS on the streets on a daily bases, children, even babys, so much crime n nothin powerful and strong is bieng done about it, they suppose to protect wheres the protection, they want the community to help lol.. In that case they are safer then we are. False accusations, unnecessary behavior, bieng harassed, Inocent people blamed, dont they have tools to get facts straight?The world we live in so corrupt,

[Hookamobsta]

the cops are the scapegoats. you cant blame the cops every time someone dies in custody, especially if you dont have all of the facts. people talk about America in such a negative light, yet the only thing i see on youtube is a bunch of hate. its disgusting

[karuspery]

tcdiesel1-you defend these bully boys so I suspect you are one of the bully boys in blue. What does yo mama say?Boy.Did yo papa beat you when you were small? There is help available for your kind and with a little effort you might be saved.

[tcdiesel1]

karuspery, your a little man with a little mind.

[karuspery]

Sad little men inside-fat lard arses outwardly. Bully boys beating on a defenseless ill woman. Fellow men,when you go to this airport,look up these bully boys and invite them down to the dojo for a 5 on 1 fight against 1 real man. Thats right,5 bully boys against 1 real man. I would flatten the lot of them. Look the arseholes up. Wankers.

[mi6QBranch]

Rachel Corrie's dead! I'm glad. Now if we could only get her fucked up parents to leave the US. Traitors!

[tcdiesel1]

karuspery, I know not that you were never a Police Officer just by your statements. As far as the Dojo....im afraid your just all talk!

[Boelens79]

The police aren't here to be your friends! And, what I think you mean to say is, when someone is doing something to you, or has done soemthing against you, you want the policed there ASAP! reguardless of what they are in the middle of... And they just so happen to be there when you don't want them to be.....like when your doin a dope deal or you're involved in an accident that "wasn't your fault"....And yes, if you don't cooperate with them, they will take action!

[johnny102marvin]

The police are not your friends. When you need them for protection they are not there. When you look suspicious they will hurt you. They will put you in a holding cell that is full of criminals. If you look at them wrong they will TAZE you. Avoid the police at all cost. It's each man and woman for themselves.

[karuspery]

I was a cop in Apartheid South Africa-a white cop with a lot of power. I never abused that power and I can assure you that I do know what I'm talking about. I have seen my fair share of abuse,death and trauma. What I saw here was abuse. Wanker.

[tcdiesel1]

Karuspery, how long were you a "Police Officer", not cop. I respect the fact that you were, however, were you there at the airport or just a viewer like the rest of us. The fact is, we were not there and all these comments are made from a video! Opinions at best

[dustbunnieboo]

How many people have been killed by airport security now?

[karuspery]

Evil bully swines. She was sick. Putting a knee in her back!!! Bastards.

[tcdiesel1]

Karuspery, you dont have the balls to do the job the police do on a daily basis. Until you walk in their shoes, shut up!

[Jebrone]

THE police dont do SH!T. I can do better than what the police are doing BLIND FOLDED! They're always late to the ocassion, unless its minor incident like this. They Never want to get involved in something that dangerous ("its there job"). They always pick the small fights, the ones they KNOW THERE GOING TO WIN. So Police are little bullies that dont want to do there own job.

[tcdiesel1]

Jebrone,

What do you do for a living, smoke dope and eat fritos all day. If you think you can do better, put up or shut up! They dont pick the fights..they finish them for little minded, ungratefull people like you.

[Jebrone]

Your just a jerk. I dont have time to argue with a simple minded fool like you!

[Boelens79]

HA when the name calling starts, you know you have lost the battle!

[Boelens79]

No worries...Jebrone is just a little person who thinks they are better than everyone and has nothing better to do than sit on you tube all day and argue points that make no sense. And you are correct, they don't have the balls to do what police do on a daily basis....thats why they are stuck in you tube land-no career of tehir own and upset that they are going no where in life.

[Tismercy]

What is the name of the band? It reminds me now of carol anne gotbaum. The music sounds like freedom amongst this facist society "we the people" have become.

[GageSaisWashLives]

i like the music..this is all kind of fucked up...but i still like the music...

[tekz999]

What the fuck is going on?

[Calumorrison]

Wheres the video from the holding cell? i bet that would make things clearer!

[bruvacool]

probably wud. All I picture is:

[the7thwreck]

just looks to me like the airports are run by the SS and everyone else ignorantly strolls by with complete faith and blindness, not one person interfered while a woman is forcibly handcuffed while screaming(with a foreign accent) for help. Yup that just about sums up America right now.

[FCPorto787]

Don't be fuking stupid! I'd rather the airport security be alittle tougher so that they can properly stop terrorists. The police did the same thing they also do with thousands of other resisting individuals. I'm fuking tired to people bittching at police for doing there job and doing nothing wrong. This idiot was fuking stupid for hanging herself.

[pthatsme]

whatever happened in the detention room is unclear and will remain so probably for the rest of time. But i do agree that people need to stop being pussies about police doing their job. It is their job to handcuff and detain an irate individual in an airport. They can't just look over that and leave her to scream and scare people. They HAVE to remove her and if she resists then that is her own choice and she was dealt with accordingly. If they would have clubbed her bloody, thats police brutality

[Jebrone]

Its people like you that make this world a sad place to live on. YOU'RE THE ONES THAT CAUSE fights, cause violence. For no reason, but enjoyment. HOW SICK!

[Coldrid]

The salient point is that she was apparently asphyxiated whilst attempting to escape from handcuffs. This I can give no credence to. Her hands were clearly locked behind her back; unless she had no collarbones, the only way to get them to her neck would be to step through them from behind and then bring them up in front to purposefully assault herself. She would have had to be wilfully suicidal to do it and, upon passing out, her grip would have loosened and the attempt been thwarted anyway.

[Coldrid]

I can think of no design of handcuff in common use that could become entangled about the neck of someone wearing them on their wrists without intentional self-harm. If this was not the case, it seems likely that pertinent information has not been reported.

[sronmor]

when i see the comments below, it makes me sick that people can blame her family for this crime against humanity. Not one passer by stopped or said anything at how this woman was brutally treated. the cops and these people are filth and the american flag is so covered in shame and greed that anyone that had sympathya dn belief in the american society has now turned away from you, you will get no support from any of your former european allies, we think you are as low as the terrorist

[mi6QBranch]

No one stopped because Airport police told everybody to keep moving or they too would be arrested!

[tcdiesel1]

Were you there?

[tcdiesel1]

You need to apply to become a Police Officer, it seems that you have everything figured out

[multitrackers]

how do those cops sleep in their beds at night, with this poor lady's death on their minds.

Those who hurt and abandoned her, should get called to account.

[tcdiesel1]

If you think they dont, your wrong

[thebatman7465]

The family should be ashamed of themselves putting a woman with those kind of problems on a plane by herself and trusting that she would reach her destination with no problems. The police did nothing wrong. They arrested a person causing a scene in the airport, these days, that's something you don't do. She got herself in a bind trying to get out of her cuffs.

[timorekusa]

The official story is she strangled herself with handcuffs.

The world is amazed that americans buy this story!

The world now realizes that Bush perfectly represents this country when he travels around the world.

[springbros]

If the Liberty Statue could have seen that

would have collapsed ! Where's the people respect ? Not cops but enventually a doctor could had helped Mrs Gotbaun. Shame the people who have managed this brutal aggression!

[strawberries909]

corporate greed, and a fascist law enforcement system killed Carol.

[UnitedOffensiveIII]

Did this happen in the 1960s or 1970s and those were the real druggy days? not even in the 1980s. The Airlines are now run by the German Luftwaffe!

[Pixiechick61]

The autopsy showed she was messed up on painkillers and alcohol. The authorities were just doing their job. Her FAMILY should be ashamed for sending a sick woman off to rehab by herself. Someone should have accompanied her.

[aliceangel7]

Not painkillers, Citalopram.

[witchylisa]

They were only doing their job. No one needs to be screaming and going crazy at airports right now. Plus her family should have made sure she had an escort to comfort her.

[aliceangel7]

She died as a result of being put in that room with that chain, alone and unobserved, She didn't die because she was drinking. She died because she was asphyxiated.

[timorekusa]

The question is - did she choke herself to death? Or did a rent a cop (or a group of them) choke her?

Probably the second.

There will be no investigation, like that polack that died in Canada. I mean, this is the USA, people don't count for sh*t here.

You have no rights, you are just a sh*t that walks around at some cop's pleasure...

[dkrustyklown]

The police don't have the resources to place every criminal they arrest under direct and constant observation. It is just unrealistic to expect such pampering from the police.

If you get drunk and accidentally hang yourself in a holding cell, then it is 100% your fault.

[Jebrone]

NOT true. They should be there watching her in the first place. She obviously was completely upset. Ready to do any thing. Police shouldn't just LEAVE her in a holding cell. Thats not taking your job seriously.

[TheCerberusInferno]

@aliceangel7 Thats true .

[strawberries909]

Carol's assailants need to be apprehended.

We need to take all 'thugs with badges' off the streets and make America a safer place for folks to live.

[paolonutuni]

It is medically impossible to strangle yourself in handcuffs. There needs to be a federal overhaul into the police brutality pandemic at airports.

[tfbbm]

NOW that the TERRORISTS are showing thier TRUE COLORS

BE MAD.....

RATE THIS VIDEO, and add the LINE "RATE THIS VIDEO"......

COME ON let everyone know NOW....Freedom first PEACE All Ways

[aliceangel7]

What if this woman had a seizure or a heart attack? The fact that the prelimary assessment is that she suffocated/strangled herself on the metal handcuffs tells me that she should have NEVER be left alone in that holding cell. Hope the City of Tucson has a good legal team because this has MAJOR liability written all over it!

[shinykicks]

The taxpayers are fuked. It's very clear that this lady was no threat to anyone. Why was she thrown to the ground by several lard-arsed males, farless cuffed, farless abandoned in a lonely cell? This is not the treatment that a democratic society expects to see re an emotionally distraught person.

[shinykicks]

CONTINUED:

The best thing that could happen, is for these thugs (and their bosses) to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Maybe, just maybe, travellers could feel just a little more secure in the future.

[dkrustyklown]

She was a CRIMINAL.

Intoxicating oneself and then proceeding to disturb the peace in a public place is ILLEGAL.

Since she was committing CRIMES, then she HAD to be arrested. The police had no choice in the matter. It is their job to arrest criminals.

She RESISTED arrest, so the police had NO CHOICE but to use force to execute a LEGAL AND LAWFUL ARREST.

[Antigodboy]

You must be a police you scumbag.

[Jebrone]

Yeah I think your a police scumbag!

[ChrisMissAva]

Her family cared so much for her they put her on a flight alone knowing she was mentally/physically unstable. Her husband should be charged with negligent homicide. The police were simply doing their job.

[valleyhomeboys]

cops jobs are to protect people, not let them die

[Hookamobsta]

your right man. people talk about the cops as if they are all racist assholes or something. only ignorant people seem to label the police like that. corruption  exists in ever career field. people talk trash about the cops because its the "cool" thing to do. people make me sick sometimes

[paolonutuni]

It sounds like it took 2 hours go get their lame cover-up story straight. For 2 hours, you would think they would come up with something plausible, not that she strangled herself while her hands were cuffed behind her back.

[BuahCrimeFamily]

I'm a Nam Vet and I have PTSD. If I had an episode would I be arrested and murdered at Sky Harbor Airport also? Makes one think.

[paolonutuni]

If they strangled a mother of 3 to death, they could do it to anyone.

[strawberries909]

beautiful verse, WunderMaus....and so very apt in this often inhumane, compassionless modern world.

"When they came for me,

there was no one left to speak out."

[WunderMaus]

I wish I had been there... I wish anyone had been there... I wish we had all been there...

"When they came for me,

there was no one left to speak out."

[aliceangel7]

Thank you WunderMaus

[strawberries909]

As you say, if only ONE PERSON had been kind to Carol - even just to sit with her, then her life would not have ended. It's so awful, thinking of a good person, crying her eyes out, unable to get help, shackled in a lonely empty cell thousands of miles from home and her loved ones. The people who did that to her are nothing more than thugs.

PS - never used the feature before, but sending you a private message.

[aliceangel7]

Thanks again, Peace

[strawberries909]

So why is this type of thuggish moronic behaviour allowed by american cops against a depressed distraught harmless 105lbs mom. Has our society lost it's entire soul. Do we have no compassion, empathy or understanding anymore, for the rest of humanity.

[aliceangel7]

Carol Gotbaum was obviously destressed and even verbalized that, "I sick." Why wasn't she immediately assessed by some kind of medical control; ie airport EMS.

Anyone who has worked security for any kind of time knows that you NEVER leave a hysterical person in ANY form of physical or chemical restraint unattended.(Constant visual observation is most often required.)

[strawberries909]

If three or four burly men had jumped on a dog in that airport concourse, almost dislocated it's shoulder blade in the fall, had yanked it's paws behind it's back, shackled it.....then despite its whimpering and obvious need for help, had then gone on to leave it alone trused up in a cell.....hell, the louts that did that would be up in court on charges.

[lightenup2004]

Thank you for this perspective. It is so true.

[strawberries909]

She's travelled on a long flight, across country....to a strange airport, thousands of miles from home. And then gets distraught when her plans start to unravel. I think that we all can identify....heck, going through any airport these times is a traumatic experience for everyone.

But to get the despicable treatment from the cops, is in my book tantamount to criminal behaviour.

[strawberries909]

aliceangel, you're welcome and thanks for the lovely reply. It's good to see good compassionate people, who care about their fellow human beings.

And like you, one feels so absolutely helpless. A lovely lady, who has finally taken a wonderfully courageous decision to go and sign in for a month's treatment for her addiction.

[chocolateapple04]

i dont understand y were they arresting her for in the first place

[strawberries909]

great video, aliceangel.

I was working on a similar video earlier today. But now no point. I couldn't better what you've done here. Many thanks for posting this.

God bless you Carol. You were so desperately unlucky.....wrong place, wrong time, wrong people. All you needed was a kind soul to help you on your way.

God bless pet.

[aliceangel7]

thanks sb909

I just feel so helpless when i see Carol walking toward the camera. Your'd think someone could have tried to help her. Instead they pin her to he ground and cuff her.

I think the guy who offered to give up his seat for her was a kind soul.If they had made an exception she would still be alive today. Her children would still have a mom.

Thanks for your comments SB909 Best wishes
