Rock star Mick Jagger's longtime designer girlfriend L'Wren Scott was found dead in her Manhattan apartment yesterday Monday March 17th.



The 49year old designer, who recently cancelled her fashion show in London, was found by her assistant hanging by a scarf around 10am in her luxury apartment.

Scott, a former model whose slim-fitting, boldly printed dresses were favorites among Hollywood's A-list stars such as Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams and Penelope Cruz, was found hanging from a scarf.
"We are investigating it as a suicide," said New York police Detective Kelly Ort.
Jagger, 70, said through a spokesperson that he was "completely shocked and devastated. Scott's family issued a statement asking for privacy.

The glamorous pair had been dating since 2001 and were often seen at celebrity events, with the tall, leggy Scott towering over her rock-star boyfriend.
Police said a female was found "unconscious and unresponsive" in an apartment building in the upscale Chelsea neighborhood. Fire officials, who responded to a cardiac arrest call, said the woman was dead when they arrived.
A single bouquet of yellow daffodils was placed in front of the glass-fronted, high-rise building where Scott lived. Police cordoned off its entrance as swarms of media gathered across the street.
Julie Bolder, of the city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said the office had not received the body nor begun work to determine the manner of death.
"Given the timing, that individual will probably be examined tomorrow and if everything is straightforward, the cause and manner of death would be available by tomorrow," she said.
