Kate Spade has been found dead inside her Manhattan apartment.

The popular designer, who shot to fame with her line of eponymous purses, is believed to have committed suicide.

Spade, 55, left a note before taking her own life by hanging and was discovered by her housekeeper.

She is survived by her husband Andy, who is the brother of actor David Spade, and her 13-year-old daughter Frances. Kate was also the aunt of Rachel Brosnahan, the star of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel.

The only thing that can bring peace is a relationship with the One true and living God. Sadly, people pursue everything else—the riches of this world, fame, glory. But in the end, all those things are still temporal. May God have mercy on her and comfort her loved ones.

Thanks. But after I sent that reply I did an online search of both Kate Spade and Coach Corporates in search of some indication of a merger or buyout, but found none. ?.

It was a bunch of merges between Liz Claiborne, Stuart Weisman and Tapestry which is some sort of rebranded name for Coach

Permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I read about a survivor from jumping off a bridge. He basically said "as soon as I jumped, I thought 'you know, all of my problems are actually pretty manageable...except that one where I am falling from a bridge' ".

After reading that man's account, I wonder how many others had the same instantaneous feelings of regret but were not as fortunate.

I'll never bad-mouth suicide victims because you don't know what's in a man's heart before he dies. All I pray for is that they become Saved.

“Spade was said to be so committed to the new accessory label that she changed her name to Katherine Noel Frances Valentine Brosnahan Spade”

Oh, we’re getting into crazy country here.

Known side effects of anti-depressants are “suicidal thoughts”. Today, seeking treatment usually means being put on anti-depressants. He should definitely seek counseling, but exercize a lot and avoid anti-depressants, just in case. my 2 cents.

Perhaps she was not allowed to use her real name in business, as she sold her company.
