Ruslana Korshunova Left Depressed Messages On Computer

Investigators probing the suicide of a Kazakh supermodel said she left depressed musings on her home computer, police sources said yesterday.

Though investigators found no suicide note, catwalker Ruslana Korshunova left long messages describing how she missed her home and family, and talked about problems with her love life.

Shortly after writing the notes, the 20-year-old neatly cut a hole in construction mesh covering her ninth-floor balcony, squeezed through it and plunged to her death, police sources said.

The slit in the mesh - and a knife left near it - are part of the evidence sources said convinced the city's medical examiner that Korshunova hurled herself from her downtown home.

Friends and family believe she never could have killed herself, describing her as cheerful and showing no sign of wanting to commit suicide.

again, half the stuff she wrote the rest of the world writes on their blogs... why couldn't this have been ruled an accident? She could have JUST hated that net on her window. She cut it neatly, so she may just have wanted to keep it neat and open it at times to let the sun in, and in the process fell to the ground.

Didn't they say the same thing about that former kgb guy who died in the London hospital, that at first he suicided by drinking a cocktail of radioactive waste??

Well there is a beautiful shrine growing outside her building which is across the street from my office. Depression is no joke....hope she has found the peace she desired.

She cut a neat round hole in the mesh? BULL!!! Someone who was that depressed wouldn't cut a neat round hole. It would have been a diagonal cut from corner to corner. A neat hole would have torn when she squeezed through. I didn't read that it had been torn. I think she turned somebody down who is in the Russian mafia. Somebody who just sent a message to other models who might refuse an offer of spending the week-end on a yacht.

You live in a wild fantasy world. You have an over-active, made for TV imagination.

How in the world would you know what every very depressed person in the world would do? Gimme a break. And you "know" a neat cut would have to tear. So you are also a forensic expert as well? Think about it. Korshunova was a slip of a woman not a big fatty. This really is a daytime TV soft porn fantasy.

When you have a person that looks like she did it's always going to get attention. When it's always the new 'it" girl up n coming your going to get articles written about the person. I don't agree w/ it but it's the truth.

So very sad. Such a young girl. She had no vision that her future could be happier, better, deeper. It just goes to show what family means to people in actual fact. The cadre' of people around us, unless profoundly connected to us, don't really matter. Sometimes even loving family cannot help one out of depression.

In this case, according to evidence so far, the girl was missing her family and feeling homesick. They don't call it "homesick" for nothing.

RIP dear girl

I feel sorry for the kid. It does go to show how no matter how successful one is, it's the inner self that governs our actions and feelings.

Always with a death, humans like to be without compassion and extremely hateful. With the few comments here, definitely shows their character. Such a shame. Heaven forbid people express condolences to a family that lost a loved one.

Maybe it wasn't suicide. Maybe she dropped her bag of dope and thought jumping from the 9th floor was the quickest way to retrieve it

[luckyoldson]

Speaking of "dopes."

How does it feel to be one?

[DebofMD]

That is so rude. I hope you understand karma is real.

[bostongreen]

karma is a load of crap. if karma was real, neo-conservatives would be eaten alive by fire ants.anyone who believes in karma is farking stupid.

So sad. It's tragic when someone is so despondant as to end their life, and the people closest to her either have no clue, or no way to help.

[Amishguy]

who cares?

[luckyoldson]

I love it: Some twit who uses the moniker; Amishguy...throws out this comment.

What an idiot.

[MBryant]

Huffpo, this is news? a person whose death is ruled a suicide was depressed.. well that's a big surprise...

If she had been a Russian chess player - and not the best in the world but a mentionable - and the photos weren't so juicy - would we be running an obvious follow-up story here?

New variation on missing white girl syndrome - dead white girl syndrome. Thank you Anna Nicole Smith - a new press obsession.

Deep cleansing breaths, MBryant.

This is the entertainment section. Do not expect balance or information pertinent to the lives of most americans and you will feel better.

[DenialTwist]

oh my god, calm down. IF you don't like it, scroll on by.

[Toonadude]

Read the headline !! She wasn't depressed, the messages were depressed.

[NoSillyName]

lol

[zippywpinhead]

I wondered about that, too. I would think the messages would be compressed, not depressed...

[luckyoldson]

Uh, this IS the "entertainment" section of the site.

Why are you here...and why are you commenting?

[NoSillyName]

RIP Ms. Korshunova.
