The Naked Beat

by

Two weeks had gone by since the night Jade Chen was arrested. After extensive interrogations, she revealed the location of the heroin shipment that was coming into San Francisco. Harrigan got word to the port authority there and they intercepted the shipment and busted the smugglers.

As for Jade Chen, when they came to take her to court for arraignment, they saw that she'd fashioned a noose out of her bed sheet, tied it to the light fixture, and hung herself.

It's not exactly the most dignified way to check out, but I guess she preferred that to prison life...

    I did research and found out that quite a few prisoners committed suicide that way. It would have to be some pretty strong light fixtures to hold a human body, but then again, they built things a lot more sturdy back in the day. And Jade Chen was probably pretty diminutive anyway.
