I am cluless on this one. She was really beautiful. Maybe the doctors put her on some antidepressants after all that is apparently what caused that korean kid to go ballistic on campus a while back.

modern medicine backfiring.

Probably from people talking about her on the internet.

One of Korshunova’s friends stated that she had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris, noting that she seemed to be “on top of the world” with no apparent reason why she would commit suicide.

Korshunova’s former boyfriend, Artem Perchenok, stated that he dropped Korshunova off at her apartment several hours before her death after they watched the Demi Moore film Ghost together.
“She was a good person,” he told The New York Post. However, she appeared brokenhearted and angry in some of her postings on a social networking site.
Korshunova’s most telling message came three months ago: “I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?”

Vladislav Novgorodtsev, Korshunova’s life coach (huh?), described Korshunova as heartbroken, lonely, and homesick.
According to statements made to the media by Novgorodtsev, Korshunova revealed to him that she was suicidal in the past, having tried to kill herself using various methods at least five times before, beginning when she was 15 years old.
In January and February of 2008, she visited the Roza Mira Training Center in Moscow.
Novgorodtsev revealed that Korshunova had once confessed to him she was in love with a young man from Moscow, but that nothing could come from the relationship because he was married.
Further, Korshunova was also having financial troubles and was asking friends for $400 ten days before jumping to her death.

She is ok, but she has that almost retro waif look.

Personally, the former tennis player and current tennis player...Kournakova and Sharapova have a much better body and have a beauty that doesn’t require tons of makeup.

She was a pretty little girl, but I see faces just as pretty every day at the inner city middle school where I teach. Beauty is a strange gift: it's so valued, yet so common... and yet so transient!

It's the softest sand in the world to build a house on, yet as long as the weather is calm, it's wonderful.

But the first big wave wipes it away.

I live in West Hollywood and I see the women around me trying desperately to hang on as they reach their 40s and 50s. Surgery runs rampant. They're pulling up their eyebrows and injecting their cheeks and lips, and dieting down to nothing.

Just recently I saw a picture of Colleen Dewhurst back when she was in her 50s. She was remarkable looking, but you see almost no one like her today (maybe Judi Dench, Helen Mirren). All around me are starving 50 year olds with fake tans and long hair. From the back they look 22. Then they turn around and startle you. They've had so much surgery, they look like that puppet, Madame.

Sorry, that was just one long ramble.

I see the same thing. The blonde newcaster from NBC a few years ago, Kelly Lange startled the hell out of me at the local market. Saw her from the back, then she turned around. Yick.

Models, past and present, are required to wear clothes on the runway and in photos like a coat hanger. The requirements made by effeminate, homosexual and latent pedophile designers for skeletal bodies to model their “creations” have become more near death in appearance every day. Girls in the modeling profession who are naturally predisposed hereditarily to be ultra-skinny have a leg up (or DOWN is more like it), but even they must eventually starve themselves to stay in that business. Taste little, eat nothing. No life, and the nutritional deprivation of vitamins and minerals is enough to cause a person to nosedive into dark depression.

Young girls need more normal role models in their lives. This girl in the photo is not wearing a lot of makeup; she looks starved and anemic, poor skinny fingers pressed against her body, white as death, with no blood circulating even to her fingernails.

Really, there is no natural answer to all these things. Only through the Lord can these things truly be overcome in any individual’s life.

I'd say there is a huge tip off right there.

In the end, suicide cannot be blamed on anyone else. Some people go through a lot without committing suicide while others crumble far more easily. It very much depends on the individual. Some type of religious belief helps, whatever the religion is.

Sorry....don't have much use for fashion models.Even the ones who are truly attractive (a small portion,IMO) are spoiled by silly poses and by being too darn skinny.
