Twenty year old supermodel Ruslana Korshunova, a Kazakhstani of Russian descent, died after falling nine stories from her apartment building in Lower Manhattan yesterday.

Korshunova, who has graced the covers of Vogue and Elle magazine, was found on Water Street in the financial district.

Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise just prior to her body being discovered in the street. Law enforcement officers are investigating her death as a possible suicide, though it was first believed that the model had been hit by a car.
