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.
Mahmoud Nakeeb, 45, the building doorman, said he arrived for work about 4 p.m.
to find Korshunova's sheet-covered body in the middle of Water Street.
"She's a very sweet girl. She was always smiling. I never see her depressed,"
Nakeeb said. Korshunova moved in about two months ago, renting the one-bedroom
apartment, which had previously been converted from a studio, from the condo
owner, he said.
Korshunova, 20, was originally from the former Russian republic of Kazakhstan,
according to published reports. Since 2003, she has appeared on the covers of
European editions of Elle and Vogue magazines, and in ads for DKNY, Vera Wang,
Marc Jacobs and other companies.
Nakeeb worked the night shift on Friday and was on duty when Korshunova came
home alone between 4 and 5 a.m., dressed casually and apparently undisturbed.
"She said 'Hi.' She always said 'Hi,'" he said.
Korshunova was represented in New York by IMG Models, a top-tier international
agency that lists supermodels Kate Moss and Heidi Klum among its clients.
An IMG representative confirmed Saturday that Korshunova was a client but
declined to comment further. Korshunova's condo board president also declined to
comment."Where the image meets the eye"

point it actually happens!
But if you can spare a minute or two to think what her relations back in her
homeland will be going through... and everyone can leave condolences here &
maybe admin can pass it on to the girl's family that everyone's thinking of them
& what they are going through. |

models when they enter the industry at a tender young age. Its not easy coping
with all the stress at work, fame and personal problems associated with this
industry.
Look out for all our friends, give them our shoulder kindly, coupled with lots
of tender loving care when we see them in distress. Its blessed to offer a
helping hand.
Cheers,
Tuck |
