Model Plunges to Death in NYC

 

Published 6/30/2008 at Extra

The fashion world was shocked this weekend by the apparent suicide of 20 year-old model Ruslana Korshunova, whose body was found on a New York street. The Kazakh model, known as "Russian Repunzel," apparently leapt to her death from her Manhattan apartment. Clues to Korshunova's pain are appearing online; the beauty reportedly posted some troubling messages on the net, including a recent one saying, "I'm so lost... will I ever find myself?" Police are investigating, but there have been no reports of foul play. Ruslana made a name for herself in the fashion world as a cover girl for French Elle and Russian Vogue -- and by appearing in ads for hot designers like Vera Wang, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs and DKNY, reports People magazine . She would have been 21 on Wednesday. [link]
