Vogue Model Dead in Apparent Suicide

A 20 year old model who graced the pages of Vogue plummeted off her NYC building on Saturday. Witnesses claimed they saw Kazakh supermodel Ruslana Korshunova jump from the 9th floor of her apartment onto busy Water Street in the Financial District in Manhattan.

Police said there were no signs of foul play in her apartment.

Witnesses to the apparent suicide had no idea that the stunner, shoeless and dressed in blue jeans and a purple tank top, was a famous model but noticed her beauty right away.

“All I saw was something moving out of the corner of my eye, and then boom,” said Steve Metzger, 36. “It sounded like a bass drum when she hit the ground.

“She was a pretty girl.”

“I turned around just as she was about 3 feet off the ground and then, boom, she hit,” said witness Ahmed Saad, 22, who was manning a nearby halal food cart.

Dubbed “fashion’s muse of the moment” by the Sunday Times of London in 2005, Korshunova distinguished herself with locks of hair that once draped down to her thighs. She was often photographed with her mane cascading around her.

Ruslana graced the cover of Russian Vogue, and modeled for Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci, and DKNY.
