Today’s Happy Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
A 32-year-old North Carolina woman died in a car accident on April 23, 2014 just moments after she used her cell phone to post on Facebook. Police in High Point, N.C., said Courtney Ann Sanford posted a message on Facebook at 8:33 a.m. and one minute later the car accident was reported. She was driving. “The happy song makes me HAPPY,” Sanford wrote of the hit song by Pharrell Williams. In a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could notify some friends that she was happy, said High Point Police Lt. Chris Weisner. Sanford drove her vehicle across a grass median and hit a truck. The truck driver was uninjured. As sad as it is, it is a grim reminder for everyone … you just have to pay attention while you are in the car, Weisner said.

At least she died happy. – Aimee
I think it was getting the capitalization and exclamation in HAPPY! that was her undoing. – DeSpair
I don’t do Facebook myself, but from what I know of it, a post to let everybody know a certain song is playing that makes you happy is about par for the course; that and pictures of people’s breakfast and jabs at their kids’ teachers.
And duckface selfies. Don’t forget the duckface selfies.
I should start a band: The Duckface Selfies.
LOL, yes!
