Description:
"I'm Not A Terroist!" Mother of 3 Dies at Airport! Police explain 7 unedited CCTV. The husband of Carol Anne Gotbaum, the woman who died in police custody at a Phoenix airport, says a little kindness might have saved her life. If "one single person at that airport had put an arm around her shoulder, sat her down and given her some protection, she might still be with us today," Noah Gotbaum said at her funeral. The incidence of police brutality in the U.S. has been on the steady rise since 9/11. Carol Gotbaum, mother of three very young children, died while shackled and handcuffed in a holding cell at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX). Her body had many bruises from being pinned to the floor. She arrived at the gate one minute after boarding was closed, and was not allowed to board. This is not what upset her, it was the fact she was not allowed to get on the next flight to Tucson . a man offered to give up his seat on that flight for her, but officials told her he could not do that because it would be considered a security breach!
Mesa Air Group spokesman Paul Skellon declined to comment on Wednesday. Mesa Air Group operates the US Airways Express flight to Tucson under contract with US Airways.
On Sunday, hundreds of mourners gathered to remember Carol Gotbaum.
Rabbi Robert Levine appeared to address critics who have questioned why Gotbaum traveled alone.
Carol was traveling alone because she wanted her husband, Noah, to look after their children, said Levine, senior rabbi at Congregation Rodeph Sholom, the synagogue where Gotbaum's memorial service was held.
"She was fiercely independent and private and believed strongly, as did the rest of the family, that she could do this on her own, that she wanted to do this on her own," Levine said. "So let us go forth and end the judgments."
The Gotbaum family has hired a team of experts to conduct its own investigation. On Wednesday, they were analyzing Noah Gotbaum's telephone records and piecing together the sequence of events on Sept. 28, the day his wife died. He made several calls to his wife at the airport and to the airport's call center.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office said it could be weeks before an official cause of death is determined.
The family is also waiting for the medical examiner to release the rest of Carol Gotbaum's remains, said Michael Manning, the family's attorney. The 45-year-old's heart, brain and parts of her throat were not turned over to the family.

Elmonellie, I reckon you need to chill. You're too emotional and out of control.

Wait for the physical reports.
Nobody "killed" her. How effin' dramatic.
Very easy to strangle yourself if you are drunk and pitching a fit.

A hug? You are silly. How do you function in life?
No beating happened. Where did you get that?
She was a stupid drunk that stumbled, after in the tank, and strangled herself.
What part of that don't you get? Or, do you need a hug?

Why don't you believe the cops?
Why do you believe a drunk that pitched her blackberry at an innocent?
Why do you assume a known drunk was a good kind and harmless mom? Why do you think that just giving birth gives her a pass?

"Bucholtz didn't see any dot-like hemorrhages that could be a sign of choking or strangling. She also didn't see any fractures and things in Gotbaum's airways, the report said. The medical examiner did find a mark on Gotbaum's neck that was consistent with the leg shackle from the bench."
This was quoted from the medical examiner that performed the autopsy on Carol's body.

I don't believe a single thing the cops are alleging - regarding the poor lady cursing, or saying anti-American things, or being violent,or being a threat to others.
Those thugs need to have their badges withdrawn. They've robbed a good, kind and harmless mom of her life.

That didn't give any official any right to kill her! And we all know, or can find out with any research, it was physically impossible to strangle herself with the cuffs with her hands cuffed and chained behind her back! This cannot be tolerated, NEVER!
