Beautiful Supermodel Ruslana Korshunova 1987–2008

Russian supermodel Ruslana Korshunova
Unfortunately, Russian Cinderella had a very short life – little more than 20 years. On June 28, 2008 at around 2:30 p.m., Korshunova died after falling from the ninth-floor balcony of her apartment at 130 Water Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. One of Korshunova’s friends stated that she had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris, and noting that she seemed to be “on top of the world” with no apparent reason why she would commit suicide.
Korshunova planned to celebrate her 21st birthday on Wednesday in Pennsylvania. And her former boyfriend, Artem Perchenok, stated that he saw Korshunova in her apartment several hours before her death. Together, they watched the film “Ghost” with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.

“I feel that she came to say goodbye,” said Perchenok. “She was a good person,” he added to The New York Post. However, Korshunova appeared brokenhearted and angry in some of her postings on a social networking site. Korshunova’s most telling message came in March 2008: “I’m so lost. Will I ever find myself?”

Muhammad Naqib, a concierge who worked in Korshunova’s building said how he was shocked when he saw her on the pavement. “She was on the road, small and pitiful, in a puddle of blood, surrounded by a crowd. Her arms and neck – broken”. According to him, Muhammad was immediately suspicious. “Only next day I realized what was wrong. It was her hair! Much shorter than when I last saw her that night, lively and happy. It seemed like it was cut in a hurry since the ends were uneven.” “All I got is a polite “thank you.”

But nobody called me for an interview,” said Moscow autopsist Sergey who worked on her makeup in a Moscow morgue. “The hair could fall out because of a strong impact, but it could not become shorter. When I was preparing the body for a funeral, I noticed that the hair was in a very poor condition. I even offered to find her a wig, but her relatives refused. The ends were uneven, as if someone had cut it with scissors.

Ruslana’s mother Valentina spent several hours at the door of the apartment. She is still hoping to find the answer from the police. On July 7, 2008, Korshunova was buried at Khovanskoye Cemetery in Moscow. Her mother stated that the Russian capital was one of her daughter’s favorite cities, and that “she would want her beloved Moscow to be her last resting place.”

Meanwhile, the 20-year old beauty was buried in a dark dress, instead of traditional white. According to her mother, she chose for Ruslana her favorite dress.
