RIP Model Ruslana Korshunova

RIP Ruslanda, I just read it and can't believe it. She was so young and had a bright future ahead.
 
She appeared angry in some postings, brokenhearted in others. "I'm a b*tch. I'm a witch. I don't care what you say!!!"
That is lyrics from a song, right?

(Of course, that's not to say that people can't post lyrics to express how they are feeling... they often are the best way)

What she was going through must have been so unbearable; it's just awful :( RIP.

Ruslana Korshunova leaped to her death

A stunning supermodel leaped from her swank downtown apartment to her death today in an apparent suicide, officials said.



Ruslana Korshunova, 20, whose face has graced the cover of French Elle and Russian Vogue, apparently jumped from her ninth-floor apartment in her Water Street building in the Financial District just before 2:30 p.m.

"I heard what sounded like a gunshot or a bomb or an explosion," said a stunned Con Ed worker talking to a cop nearby before the beauty leaped.
"I looked down the street, and I say to the cop, 'Did that person just get hit by a car?' " said the worker, who identified himself only as Patrick, 32, of Brooklyn.
The two men raced over. "Her arms were crushed," Patrick said. "Her head was on the left side and blood was coming out in a pool."
Cops said there were no signs of a struggle in the apartment.
The window from which she fell had a balcony, which had construction netting around it that appeared to have been cut.
The 5-foot-8 head-turner has been featured in ads for DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior among others and was hailed as "the next big thing" in a profile in Vogue three years ago.
"She's one of the sweetest, nicest people you'll ever meet," said a friend, who did not want to be identified by name.
"I'm still in shock. The world lost a great person."
The lithe looker has been a mainstay at Fashion Week in the Big Apple and London, working with all-star designers Jill Stuart, Betsey Johnson, Rosa Cha, Lela Rose and Libertine.
The pal said that Korshunova had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris and seemed to be "on top of the world."
"There were no signs," he said. "That's what's driving me crazy. I don't see one reason why she would do that."
Korshunova, who had been sending money back to her parents in Kazakhstan, was in love with the city.
"She really liked New York," said the friend. "People made her feel comfortable here."
Korshunova's doorman, who did not want to be identified, remembered the catwalker as "very soft-spoken."
"She always said hi and bye," he said. "She was beautiful, beautiful."

Oh my God, that is just so awful. What a shock! Poor Ruslana and her family; while suicide always seems tragic and illogical, the fact that someone like her (ironically someone, when younger, I'd always naively looked up to and figured that if I looked like her, I'd be so so happy and my life would be perfect) could kill themselves is just staggering. My condolences to her friends and family. She was one of my favourite models and imo one of the most beautiful.
 
somehow i can't believe this all ... i am SO shocked. :cry:
i hope she rests in peace now
 
oh my God I saw this on Yahoo and the title was vogue cover model dies in fall from NYC Building.
the things that ran threw my mind...:cry:

I'm really sad about this.

Poor Ruslana R.I.P
 
Can't believe this news
Love you baby girl, thanks for everything, emotions, laugh & love
 
Oh God, this absolutely shocked me. Suicide is a horrible thing, and from what she wrote in her blog she must have been really broken. I wish someone was there for her so now another young life wouldn't be gone. RIP Ruslana. I hope now you've found the peace you've been looking for. I hope that now you can fly and reach the rainbow just like you wanted. :heart:
 
May she rest in piece. Really shocking and I did not see something like this coming, I'm not really familiar with Ruslana but she was a beautiful girl.
