It really pains me to read the news every morning. It’s really depressing to read about the often senseless crimes committed each and every day by the seemingly every growing population of bad people in this world.


Last night, Saturday May 31st, 26 year old Margaux Powers was found dead in her bathroom located at her Chelsea New York apartment. Hours later a man 8 years her senior was found dead as well. This was 34 year old Jonathan Smith, who lived at the same Chelsea address. His body was found in front of 55 Exchange Place. Although nothing is official, authorities are connecting this and saying it was a murder suicide.

The following statement was issues by Michael Powers, Margaux’s Father this morning on part of the Powers Family:
“We are completely devastated by the loss of Margaux. She was an extremely loving and loyal daughter, sister, granddaughter and a joy to our family. A life long resident of Glen Cove, she was a 2005 graduate of Cornell University and recently moved to Manhattan where she was pursuing a career in finance. Margaux was a sweet, caring young woman and a friend to all who were lucky enough to know her.”
