The life of ‘Death’: Remembering Utah ballerina, goth queen and comic book character Cinamon Hadley

Cinamon Hadley couldn’t help but make an impression. She projected an unforgettable image with her long dreadlocks, her tall and wispy, tattooed and pierced figure, her goth couture, her 6-inch-high heels.

“She was probably pretty empathic. She felt things from people around her — their hurts, their joys, and she was very, very compassionate,” said her mother, Patti Hadley. “I can't count the number of people who came up and expressed how she had loved them and helped them, and it was genuine. She gave her heart.”

Ivy Earnest, friend • I met her probably when I was about 14 at The Palladium dance club.
