Young supermodel Ruslana Korshunova, who fell to her death from a New York apartment building on Saturday, committed suicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

Ruslana Korshunova was days away from her 21st birthday when she plunged from her ninth floor apartment in New York, shocking all with her death.

The cause of death was blunt impact injuries, the medical examiner’s office said, ruling her death officially as a suicide, reports CNN.

The Kazakhstan-born Korshunova fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment building on Saturday afternoon. There appear to be witnesses who saw the young supermodel plunge from a ninth-floor balcony in the building where she had an apartment.

It remains unknown whether someone had been in her Water Street condo, although authorities said there were no signs of a struggle having taken place inside the apartment, where Korshunova had been living for only two months.

No suicide note has been found. An investigation is underway, NY police said.

Born July 2, 1987 in Almaty, the largest city of the former Soviet republic Kazakhstan, Korshunova was discovered by Debbie Jones, the senior booker at Models 1, a London-based modeling agency, in 2003.

Her biography from the Fashion Model Directory explains how charmed Jones was with the young girl’s fairytale looks, her long wavy hair and unique air.

“I saw her by chance and she looked like something out of a fairytale! [..] She’s really incredible with feline features and timeless beauty,” Jones said in a Vogue profile about Korshunova published in 2005.

The 20-year-old was represented by the IMG modeling agency in New York, Paris, London and Milan. She appeared on the cover of the French magazine Elle in 2005 and on the cover of Vogue in Russia and Poland.

During her career, she walked the catwalks for designers like Kenzo, Vera Wang and Nina Ricci and she was featured in ads for Blugirl by Blumarine, Clarins, Ghost, Girbaud, Kenzo Accessories, Marithé & François, Max Studio, Moschino, Pantene Always Smooth and Paul Smith.

While everything good in life seemed to await Korshunova in the years to come, it was apparently a matter of the heart that determined her to make such a sad decision.

A spokesperson for IMG told the New York Daily News: “We’re shocked and our heart goes out to her family.”
