models that are dead.

today's lady gaga's birthday!

pretty much bored, people are out and about, minding their own business. i wish someone was here with me.

i did research on dead models before:


22 year old luisel ramons died during Montevideo fashion week,August 2, 2006, at 9:15 p.m.... she vas reportedly on a "diet of lettuce and Diet Coke for the three months before her death" her BMI was 14.5, weighed 97lbs(her height was 5'9) and died of heart failure caused by anorexia. she fainted backstage after getting off the runway...


two months later, brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died of anorexia. her diet consisted of apples and tomatoes, had a BMI of 13.4(having a BMI lower than 16 is starvation, according to World Health Organization) and was 5'8. she was only 21. she bacame anorexic after a trip to Guangzhou, China for casting calls, and was told she was TOO FAT??!?!



a year later(February 13, 2007), luisel ramos' 18 year old sister, eliana, was found dead in her grandparents home in montevideo. its is currently believed that she died of a heart attack caused by malnutrition. she was very well known in argentina(where her modeling agency is located.)


19 year old heather bratton died in a car crash on July 22, 2006, after shooting for W magazing by photographer Craig McDean. The September 2006 issue of Parisian Vogue is dedicated to her memory.


audrey lindvall, sister of already sucessful model angela lindvall, was killed in a biking accident(got hit by a truck) in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, August 2, 2006. she was 23.


kazakh/russian model Ruslana Korshunova commited suicide by falling from the ninth-floor balcony of her apartment at 130 Water Street in Manhattan's Financial District on June 28, 2008. she was 20. EDIT: her dead body was accidently shown on tv.

EDIT: there was a model from brazil who also died from anorexia. i cant find her name anymore, but all that i remember was that she was a teenager and that her eating disorder got soo bad she "couldnt walk up the stairs in school". plus there was another brazilian model/beautyqueen who died of an infection(she developed fungus on her arms and legs, which were later amputated).
