AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died after being struck by a train, officials said.

Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said.

A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.

McAvoy, who had been deaf since birth, won the state title in June and represented the state "with dignity and pride," state pageant director Laura Loeb-Hill told The Associated Press via e-mail Monday night.

McAvoy was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer, Loeb-Hill said.

McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb-Hill said.

i don't know about hilarious....but really really wierd

you have to ask yourself what she was doing walking on train tracks while being deaf....and not looking for trains

sounds like suicide to me . . . why else would a deaf person walk along train tracks

it was funny when i saw the headline..she never heard it coming :)

That happened here and (even though I can see the irony) I don't think it's hilarious at all.

I would figure she would have felt the train vibrations long before it showed up. even the whistle can be felt.

too weird

must be...

another reason why I think it was suicide

Too bad... looks like she had a promising future.

Yeah, that was suicide.

I found it really sad, not hilarious.

sad , must have been suicide, she would have felt it , and no deaf person would walk along train lines unless they didnt know the area and thought they were unused , but still you would feel the train , especially if u were deaf

she killed herself because she lacked attention. she realized that getting killed in this manner would give her tons of attention.

no way!!!!!

Not much use to her now though is it ??

The sad thing is that she died a virgin, without ever having had an orgasm.

NO, I don't think that's funny.

Funny peculiar perhaps - funny HahHa def not.

How would you know? Did you give her pussy an autopsy?

Very sad :(

RIP Tara Rose McAvoy

Why is someone getting killed considered hilarious?

I don't find it funny...

i cant find any reason to laugh... may she rest in peace.
bye Miss Texas!
