Suicide (Fallen Body) (1963)[1] is a silkscreen painting by Andy Warhol of the Death and Disaster series, based on a photo of Evelyn McHale's suicide, who on May 1, 1947 had leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photography student Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale's oddly intact body.
