Supermodel Suicide
In an apparent suicide, supermodel Ruslana Korshunova jumped to her death on Saturday, falling 9 floors from her apartment in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York. The 20-year-old beauty, who had graced the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue and had modeled for top designers Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci, and DKNY was hailed by British Vogue as “a face to be excited about.”
It was just days before her 21st birthday, and friends described the Kazakhstan native as an upbeat person showing no signs of depression. “She loved life,” one Russian friend told The New York Post, while another, Maxim Ilin, said she “was the most cheerful and positive person I knew.”

There are some good websites on the on th internet that help people understand suicide. The only person who knew what Ruslana was thinking, was herself and her creator. I lost my son about 3 years ago today. It has been quite a journey..

Damn right it don’t add up! Have you seen pictures from the death scene? she couldn’t have ‘leaped’ any further from her apartment if she tried…
If she really jumped she would have landed more or less directly in front of her apartment(on the street floor of course) but she landed further down the street than where she lived.
Her arms were crushed from trying to stop the fall and nobody ACTUALLY saw her jump. The netting on her balcony had been cut open and she fell from so high so quick…but no one saw her JUMP. Its very strange especially that there were no reports of her screaming.
I just don’t understand, she was either extremely determined to die or someone killed he FIRST and chucked over her balcony
