Olsen was from Alaska, and was known for his work in Hugo Boss, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and YSL campaigns; he also appeared with Adriana Lima in Armani Exchange ads.

Very sad...the fashion and modeling industry, which has seen so many of these suicides lately...may unfortunately but not surprisingly be the contributing factor. Such a high demand for them to embody perfection, when we all know that it's impossible, at least not without the eating disorders, the depression, the addictions...these folks are too young to let it all destroy them like that.

Man, it seems every week there's some twenty-something model committing suicide. Scary and tragic. This guy was ONLY 24 years old. Life is a gift, but something makes them snap.

I'm thinkin' he got pissed at all the airbrushing goin' on in the industry.

Really. Airbrushing? I'm also aware of it. It angers me. Am I dead? Therefore, yes, your comment IS useless.

for many models, modeling gives them big bucks but leaves their souls feeling empty

There's more to being a male model than being really, really, really good looking.

With posts like that, it surprises me that anyone would describe you as 'super.'

I wonder if he was gay and felt bad about it.....being from conservative alaska...he probably felt like he was living a lie.....so so sad....

thats just what I heard from other sources..

That was the first thing that pooped into my head too. I am not sure why though, but since he was so young, and seemingly successful, one can only think drugs or some social issue, but those are my judgments, and I am sure I am way off.

When a model dies, you don't even have to find out how, why or where - it's still news.

The industry is insane, and before you get into entertainment, modeling, etc., please try and ground yourself. There is a lot of rejection, trying to pretend you are someone you are not...and the normal day-to-go living within New York. It's tragic.
