L’Wren Scott Death: Mick Jagger ‘Devastated’ By Fashion Designer Girlfriend’s Death As Celebrities React To Suicide News
More details have emerged in the case of 49-year-old fashion designer L'Wren Scott's death on Monday.
The designer, who was found dead in her Manhattan apartment around 10 a.m. by an assistant, had apparently texted the woman, asking her to come by the apartment just that morning, according to CNN.
When the assistant arrived at around 10:02 a.m., she found Scott dead in her living room, hanging from a door knob by a scarf.
Her death has reportedly devastated her long-time boyfriend, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who was in Australia to kick-off a five-show tour with his band. The band has since called off their March 19 show in Perth.
Several celebrity friends, clients and fans have tweeted their reactions to her death since her body was discovered, including Jagger's first wife Bianca and former client Nicole Kidman.
