At that evening, a french driver came to dancer with a car to take her for a short driving,by the other sorces,to demonstrait a vechicle or teach her driving. Isadora was suggested to wrap herself in a cape and the driver offered her his leather jacket . But Isadora refused, and wrapped herself with a shawl or put it around her neck. The loose of the shawl was laying on the ground,but nobody noticed it. Only when the car started to move, Mary Desti, who acompanied Duncan to the auto, saw that and сried to her friend: "Isadora! Ton chale! Ton chale!" But she wasn't heard and everything hapened too quickly. A scarf stuck in a wheel,broke her neck and cut
carotid artery.The vechicle of the car was strong. The arrived doctor said that there was nothing that he could do about that.The death was instant.
