Park Slope Woman Kills Herself In Hotel Double Suicide: Report

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — One of two people who killed themselves in a hotel room in Hell's Kitchen last week was from Park Slope, the New York Post reported.

Ellen O'Meara, 30, and David Koenig, 33, of Queens, reportedly asphyxiated themselves with nitrous oxide and a plastic bag in a Yotel New York room on Thursday, according to the Post.

Friends of O'Meara and Koenig took to social media to share memories and condolences.

"Ellen was a truly wonderful daughter, sister and friend," Gold Bolus Recordings wrote on Facebook. "We love her more than any media post can come close to expressing."

The pair left a note on the front door with 10 twenty dollar bills for the housekeeper, telling her not to look behind the curtain, the Post reported.

Another, longer suicide note was also found with O'Meara and Koenig's wills attached and the book “Suicide and Attempted Suicide: Methods and Consequences” by Geo Stone, which was bookmarked to the section on asphyxiation, was underneath the bed, sources told the New York Post.

O'Meara and Koenig, musicians and close friends, were both deeply depressed, a source told the Post.

“Their friends were very upset, but not surprised,” the source said. “It’s almost as if from the first day these two people met,” about a year ago, “they knew they were going to die together.”
