20-year-old model Ruslana Kurshunova recently graced the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue and seemed to have a very bright future ahead of her. Many in the industry hailed her as the next big thing and she seemed to have a genuine thirst for life. Which makes it quite shocking that, yesterday, Ruslana jumped to her death from the ninth floor of her New York Water Street apratment building in the Financial district in the middle of the afternoon. Police found no signs of a struggle and deemed it a suicide. According to the Post:
“We were talking on the phone last night,” she said. “She loved life so much. She was an angel.”
Titeneva, who grew up in her pal’s hometown, said Korshunova “wasn’t wild. She was never on drugs or anything.”
Another friend said that Korshunova seemed to be “on top of the world.”
“There were no signs,” said the pal who did not want to be named. “That’s what’s driving me crazy. I don’t see one reason why she would do that.”
The New York Daily News contends that early warning signs were evident on her Facebook page months prior.
Korshunova’s most telling message came three months ago: “I’m so lost. Will I ever find myself?”
She appeared angry in some postings, brokenhearted in others.
“I’m a bitch. I’m a witch. I don’t care what you say!!!” she wrote March 11. “I know what it is. I know why my other relationships didn’t work out, ’cause I’m unpredictable. Why are you afraid of it?”
In January, she wrote, “It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out.
“My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow it is too high,” she wrote in a March note.
This is very sad. Although, I kind of know what Ruslana was going through. I’m very beautiful myself and sometimes I wonder why people can’t see past my looks and love me for my inner beauty, not just my bulging biceps, kissable lips and rock hard abs.
Up top is the FOX News coverage of her suicide. Sort of NSFW because you can see the body. I’m glad to know that while everyone is mourning, FOX News is happy to pick up where Ogrish.com left off. Live Leaks just isn’t the same.
I miss ogrish.com so much
I still get a yearly birthday greeting from their database thats out there, somewhere lost on the interwebs…
sure it was suicide. more like some rich little pig couldn’t have her so he murdered her, and they’re trying to avoid an international incident.
don’t be a punk.
Russian Mafia got her.
How do we know if she commited suicide? I mean she come back early Saturday morning around 4am and it took 10 hours before she jumped to her death?? First, of all she had to have gone to sleep when she got home and then woke up and maybe took a shower and freshend herself up. What clothing was she last seen in? We don’t know. The bystanders and police said she was bare footed and wearing jeans and a tank top..why would she jump bare footed? They were doing some sort of constructionon her building next to her apartment..so… Read more »
i gotta call shenanigan on this, although it may be possible that she did commit suicide, i aint seeing it through those posts. as ridiculous as it sounds i have to agree, murder. all that next big thing, bright future, thirst for life s**t i aint buying either, they say that for everybody and anybody. i do, however, buy what she is saying, i do believe that she is hurt, broken hearted, frustrated, and lonely, but she is an international model, those things are regrettably going to happen, thus lies an impass. there is motivation for her to want to… Read more »
she may have taken off her shoes for the same reason that people have also been known to take off their glasses before jumping, but by that same merit she could have also worn her most lavish gown to jump in. the point is when one has decided, not deciding, but has decided to end ones life they think don’t in a logical means that would neccessarily make any sense to the rest of use. but once again, by that merit, she may have simply been doing some housework and lost her balence, as you said.
Hell, she was pushed.
Fox News is sick. Why would they show her dead body on television for so long?
