Fashion designer L'Wren Scott, girlfriend of Mick Jagger, found dead of apparent suicide

L’Wren Scott, the girlfriend of rocker Mick Jagger, was found dead in her Manhattan apartment at the age of 49 on Monday morning.

The fashion designer is believed to have died in an apparent suicide. A spokeswoman for the NYPD confirmed to Fox News that a woman of the same address and age was discovered dead.

The spokesperson said she was found “unconscious and unresponsive,” adding, “It does appear to be an apparent suicide preliminarily.”

Scott’s assistant found her hanging by a scarf tied to her doorknob at around 10am on Monday. She had texted her assistant this morning around 8:30 asking her to go over to her apartment.

Daily News notes no suicide note was found in her apartment on 11th Ave.

Stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman have worn Scott’s designs to the Oscars in previous years. Others like the First Lady, Michelle Obama, Reese Witherspoon, Christina Hendricks and Sandra Bullock have been seen wearing her designs.

Scott, who’s been dating the Rolling Stones frontman since 2001, canceled her London Fashion Week show this year. Jagger's rep told Us Weekly he's "completely shocked and devastated by the news."
