Ruslana Korshunova, a 20-year-old female Russian super model, plunged to her death from a Manhattan apartment on Saturday in an apparent suicide.
Local media, citing police sources, said there was no sign of a struggle inside her apartment and that Ruslana Korshunova was believed to have leaped to her death.
A friend said Ruslana Korshunova had just returned from a modelling job in Paris and seemed “on top of the world.”
“There were no signs, I don’t see one reason why she would do that.” an unidentified friend quoted.
A model who walked runways around the world and graced the covers of fashion magazines fell from a Manhattan building Saturday in an apparent suicide, New York City police said.
Ruslana Korshunova, known for her distinctive long hair and green eyes, was apparently killed in the fall at 2:30 p.m. onto busy Water Street outside the Financial District condo building where she lived.
It appeared she fell from the balcony of her ninth-floor apartment, police said, where a large hole was visible in construction netting hanging on the front of the 12-story building.
Investigators were still examining the scene late Saturday, but a police source said there was no sign of a struggle in the apartment. It was unclear if anyone else was in the apartment at the time of the fall or if a suicide note was found. The city medical examiner is to determine the cause of death.
