Kazakh supermodel Ruslana Korshunova fell off the balcony of her New York apartment over the weekend and fell 9 stories to her death. Just 20-years-old, she had appeared on the covers of French "Elle" and Russian "Vogue". Her death has been ruled a suicided, but at least one close friend refuses to believe it. The Sydney Morning Herald says…
Kira Titeneva, who described herself as Korshunova's "best friend", told the New York Daily News: "There's no way she would have killed herself. She loved life so much."Ms Titeneva was also quoted in London's Daily Mail as saying: "I talked to her on Friday night and we were talking all the gossip."Another friend told the paper that Korshunova, who would have earned around $5200 for a catwalk show, had been sending money home to her family in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan and was "one of the sweetest, nicest people you'll ever meet".The unnamed source told the paper the model had just returned from a modelling job in Paris and seemed "on top of the world"."There were no signs. That's what's driving me crazy. I don't see one reason why she would do that," he said.Korshunova's doorman, Mahmoud Nakeeb, was also quoted in the Daily Mail as claiming the model seemed happy when she came home about 4am on Saturday."She came in this morning, she smiled, no sense of depression," he said.
This is fucking sad. This page is supposed to be empty, light-hearted nonsense but there’s nothing funny about suicide. Unless you’re hanging yourself and all your kicking makes your pants fall down. I think it would be okay to laugh about that. “Holy cow,” I bet you would think, “this is gonna be one of those days.”
