Alexander McQueen: Dead of Apparent Suicide
by Hilton Hater at .Alexander McQueen, an internationally known and respected fashion designer, was found dead today in his London home.
Sources are reporting that McQueen committed suicide, as the UK media organization Sky News says he hanged himself in his apartment. No official cause of death has been released, however.
The 40-year-old British designer was often responsible for outfits worn by such stars as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Prince Charles.
Said rep from McQueen's office in a statement:
"At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with [McQueen's] family."
A new line from the artist, McQ, was set to be debut this afternoon at New York Fashion Week. He was also scheduled to premiere his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.
Our thoughts go out to McQueen's friends, family and loved ones.
