On Wikipedia it says she is seen, alive, in several other vignettes. There are also a couple theories given as to how she relates to the other characters. I did not catch any of this and I am curious to hear other people's takes on it.

I saw her in five scenes. After she is found dead, they show a flashback of her walking home. She's in each segment.

Did you learn anything about her those segments?

I thought she was a nurse. There's a recent separation...a child or a lover. She doesn't have a lot of friends. Either way, she's lonely as hell, like all the women in the film seem to be at one point.
I read that she's supposedly Robert's wife and he left her for Rebecca, not sure if that's true.

How could you tell about the separation?

By the end of the movie I had already come to the conclusion that Robert is Carmen's husband in Carol's story, seemingly how all these characters are loosely connected to one another, there must be a reason that Cameron Diaz told such story at the end of the movie, as a closure to the mystery of the suicide lady. Also, a few scenes where Carmen actually showed up walking around, especially the last scene where she was in a red dress walking sadly on the street, echoed what Carol said "she left early in the morning.....she made her mind about her future on that long walk home", she died in the same dress in the opening scene, which confirmed the sequence of the suicidal event. If Carmen had her own segment, it'd be called "Use your Imagination".
shareOP, would it be asking too much to remove "suicide" from your Subject Line and replace it with "SPOILER?" Lots of people haven't seen this before.
Thanks.
I'm sympathetic to avoiding spoilers in general, but wasn't this from the opening scene? The other problem is how to make the subject line meaningful. A subject line that simply says "Spoiler" doesn't even hint at what I'm asking about.

@C-lashed
People that haven't seen films should not be reading message boards for those movies. That is common sense.
Secondly, if you're honest film reviews usually expose entire plots as well.
