But that's not the kicker.
Her family believes Weber, who was 5-foot-3 and barely 100 pounds, may have fallen headfirst into the space.
"She's a little thing," her mother said. "And the bookcase is 6 feet tall and solid. And she couldn't get out."
WHAT?!? I...uh...WHAT?!?

Would have been nice if they provided a picture of the women since I can't contemplate someone being that small.

Obviously, you've never dated small women.
Insert Ted Wallace quote here.

I'm 5 feet even and ~110 lbs... just barely legal to donate blood.

I googled for a pic but there's just a face shot. In any event, I've dated or been friends with women around that height and size . . . one friend/ex is 5'2", IIRC, and 105 lbs., and a friend of mine is married to one who's a couple of inches shorter and maybe ten pounds heavier.
But I guess Mars has lower gravity so they all grow taller there . . . except that there apparently aren't any since you need them.
In any event, that's an absolutely horrible way to die. I'm hoping she was knocked unconscious by the fall and simply never woke up.

My wife is 5 foot and one half-inch. When she asks me to get her things down from the higher-up kitchen cupboards, I usually hold them over her head so she can't reach.

Read it on the BBC. Felt sorry for dead midget. Sniggered at stupid family.

Yes I have trouble understanding this concept you humans call 'love'.

Short women are cool...tough to slow dance with though. The whole bookcase thing is sort of horrific- what a shitty way to die.

Heh, I say the same thing about tall people. (And back in middle school--when I was still only the size of the average 3rd or 4th-grader--when we did the three-legged race on field day, I always ended up paired with the one other geek in the class. Said geek was *already* five-foot-nine.
Both of us were the best at three-legged races, but not when paired up with one another. Gah. And I'd already had ankle problems before then...
