The international fashion industry is shocked after a Kazakh supermodel–Ruslana Korshunova–falls to her death from her ninth-floor New York apartment. Police claim she committed suicide.
Stunning Kazakh supermodel –Ruslana Korshunova–committed suicide by plunging to her death from the ninth floor of her lower Manhattan building on Saturday, police sources and neighbors said.
On Sunday, police ruled the model’s death a suicide. Spokeswoman for the city’s medical examiner–Megan Cuccia– told sources Korshunova died from blunt impact injuries.
Investigators said there were no signs of a struggle inside Korshunova’s apartment and believe she jumped from her balcony, which is next to a skyscraper construction site, a law enforcement source said.
Police said the supermodel’s family had not yet been notified.
Ruslana Korshunova, 20, a long-haired beauty who once graced the cover of Russian Vogue, plummeted onto busy Water St. in the Financial District around 2:30 p.m, according to sources and building residents.
According to sources, the doorman–Mahmoud Nakeeb– at the 12-story building, where Korshunova lived for months in a studio converted into a one-bedroom - said the model seemed happy when she came home about 4 a.m. Saturday. “She came in this morning, she smiled, no sense of depression,” said Mahmoud Nakeeb. “She was a very sweet girl, always smiling, never depressed-looking,” Mahmoud Nakeeb told sources. Nakeeb said the green-eyed Korshunova was very down-to-earth, often dressed in simple pants and shorts. He had no clue she was an international model.
Korshunova’s elite modeling agency, IMG, was grappling with the tragedy last night and gathering information about her death and work schedule.
