L’Wren Scott was found dead this morning, the result of an apparent suicide. The New York Post reported that the designer and model was found unresponsive at 10:05 AM in her Manhattan apartment. Responding to a text message from the designer to come over and let herself in, Scott’s assistant discovered the body and immediately called the police.
The designer was the longtime partner of Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. The couple had been together since 2001. Celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Angelina Jolie have worn Scott’s designs from the brand that she launched in 2006 after a successful career as a stylist and model.
No suicide note was found, but the NYPD does not suspect foul play of any kind. Rest in peace, L’Wren, you will be sincerely missed.
