Frederica, DE -- Halloween is on the way, but this was no decoration. Authorities in Delaware say a woman's body was found hanging from a tree on Wednesday after she apparently committed suicide. But they say it went unreported for a few hours, because people walking by thought the body was a Halloween decoration. The body was suspended by rope from a tree about 15 feet off the ground in Frederica. The wife of the town's mayor told Wilmington paper The News Journal that it looked like "something somebody would have rigged up."
