BREAKING NEWS - Designer Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide
Fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead of an apparent suicide.
The Daily Mail reports that a source at McQueen’s office confirmed his death today, saying "It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family."
The loss comes just days before London Fashion Week, and weeks before he was set to debut his new collection in Paris Fashion Week. McQueen was just 40 years old.
UPDATE:
We've learned that McQueen's mother Joyce passed away on February 2, which sank the designer into a deep depression over the past week. According to several online reports, McQueen was found hanged in his London flat.
McQueen's PR firm has confirmed that the presentation for McQ (which was scheduled for 3 to 5pm today) has been cancelled.
So sad!
