Woman falls 150' from zip line. Cause of death yet to be determined pending autopsy report.

"Rabellizsa was pronounced dead at the scene. Her cause of death is pending autopsy results."

If I were a betting man, I'd place a wager that it was the impact on hitting the ground after falling 150' that did her in.

It would be found that a hunter in the next valley had missed his target and the spent round had shot through the safety line ... but
the woman was already dead from anaphlyctic shock caused by the shrimp contaminated lubricant on the line - this lubricant as deliberately applied by her sister because the deceased had seduced the living sister's husband to steal blood diamonds hidden in a shipment of cocaine.

Yeahahahah

Shepard's dry wit came into play once again when reflecting his dramatic recovery from his capsule, as he "... didn't really feel the flight was a success until the recovery had been successfully completed. It's not the fall that hurts; it's the sudden stop."
