Some more news that I don't think has been posted - from nypost

And she told her manager "she didn't know what to do with her life," said her ex, who lives in Little Neck, Queens. Authorities officially declared Korshunova's death a suicide yesterday as friends and relatives struggled to comprehend the tragedy.

Half a world away in Kazakhstan, her grief-stricken mother said she would never understand what went wrong.

"She's had her ups and downs but never anything that would lead to suicide. This is completely unexpected," she told The Post from her home in Almaty.

"She was working, and everything seemed to be going fine. She was going to Milan [to work]."

The mother and her son, Korshunova's brother, Ruslan, will make the sad trek to New York to claim the body of the "happy girl" who left home to make it big.

Korshunova killed herself Saturday - four days before she was set to celebrate her birthday.

"She was going to turn 21 on Wednesday," said Nina Perchenok, Artem's mother.
"When she had a conversation with my son, she said, 'I'm 21, so I feel sad.' She asked, 'Where am I going to celebrate?' "

The young beauty - known in the fashion world for her flowing, Rapunzel-like tresses - was featured in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY and Vera Wang, and also made the cover of French Elle.

"She was lonely, it looked like," Perchenok said.

But her death - after spending the night watching the movie "Ghost" with her ex - was completely unexpected.

"I never heard of her being depressed. Maybe a year ago, when she wanted to change agencies," the mother said.

"But she would explain her problems. I can't understand why she wouldn't explain her problems [now]."

Korshunova left no note before she jumped.

One investigator told The Post they found several bottles of medication; the labels were in Russian.

The model plummeted from her ninth-floor apartment on Water Street in downtown Manhattan on Saturday afternoon.

A crowd of about a dozen weeping friends gathered there yesterday. They surrounded the spot where her body landed and covered it with orchids and candles.

Oh my God! I always appreciated Ruslana's work and her beautiful Rapunzel locks. It's so tragic and shocking to hear about her death.

RIP.

Omg, so sad

I think it would be much more respectful to have this thread as a 'tribute' only thread for Ruslana and to move all the speculation about what happen to her to another thread. I do think the topic of 'what happened?' needs to be discussed and articles posted but I don't think this is the place for it.

Mods could you please consider this request?

^ Completly Agree
In one of those news paper articles I scanned earlier, I think it said she wanted to celebrate in Pennsylvinia

Another request...could you please pin her thread in supporting cast so that members who might not know her work could view how beautiful she was?

I feel sorry for her close model friends, like Vlada, who have to be in Paris doing HC today.

............ JESUS CHRIST!! Oh my gosh, I can't believe this! Wha.....I'm speechless. Words fail me, I don't know what to say.
She was so young. That's what it is about. It's not about her naturally stunning and ever unquestioned beauty, it's about herself, the person she was! Heavens, what can fame at a young age like this only too often lead to? It's horrible! I'm so terribly sorry for her. Rest In Peace, poor girl. That's what she really seems to have been, a poor girl with seemingly no way to escape her fame and depression. So sad.....
