Ruslana Korshunova, 20, whose face has graced the cover of French Elle and Russian Vogue, jumped to her death from her ninth-floor apartment in her Water Street building in the Financial District just before 2:30 p.m.
"I heard what sounded like a gunshot or a bomb or an explosion," said a stunned Con Ed worker who was on the street below at the time of her suicide. "Her arms were crushed," Patrick said. "Her head was on the left side and blood was coming out in a
pool."
The 5-foot-8 head-bombshell has been featured in ads for DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior among others and was hailed as "the next big thing" in a profile in Vogue three years ago.


--This is so disheartening. Ruslana's friends all say that she showed no signs of being depressed or suicidal. She ill truly be missed.
