I saw this recently on ABC News – US woman who was former Marine found dead in Russia; suspect arrested on murder charges: https://abcnews.go.com/International/us-woman-marine-found-dead-russia-suspect-arrested/story?id=78375310. Longer article.
An American woman studying in Russia, who went missing four days ago, has been found dead and a man has been arrested on suspicion of her murder, Russian police said Saturday.
A search had been underway for Catherine Serou, a 34 year-old graduate student and former Marine, after she disappeared on Tuesday in Nizhny Novgorod, a city about 250 miles from Moscow and where she was studying at a university.

Initially, I had hopes, but based on her last message to her mother, I figured it wouldn’t end well for her. Never been a Marine, but if I thought I was a life or death situation, I would go down fighting. I would probably lose, but at least I would make an attempt to save my life.

That’s my take too with self-defense; I’m actually a small guy and I’ve never been in a fight or violent confrontation where I thought the advantage was in my court, but its the idea of going down fighting that has helped me.
