Russian model, Ruslana Korshunova, who had appeared on the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue - a rising star in the fashion industry, was found dead outside her Manhattan apartment on Saturday after falling from her balcony, in an apparent suicide. While friends said there had been no signs the 20-year-old had been suicidal, internet postings show swings between euphoria and despair in a series of postings on the theme of love. Police say the fall is under investigation. Her death is the latest to rock the fashion world, in February, the body of Katoucha Niane, the former supermodel muse of Yves Saint Laurent, was found in the Seine near Paris after an apparent suicide.
