Mick Jagger's partner L'wren Scott found dead

I know from personal experience (as do others on here) the horrendous shock of suicide. Even if you know someone is struggling you are never prepared.

Oh dear; I hadn't thought of that .

I do wonder, given the conversation with the assistant, if she had rather hoped to be found and saved, but I suppose we will never know.

Very sad that anyone feels so bereft. I once heard this saying, 'suicide is a long term solution to a short term problem.'
One must feel for those left behind. X

I feel terribly sorry for her assistant who was asked to 'drop by later'; it must have been awful for her, although I do understand that at that time L'Wren wouldn't have been thinking coherently.

Apparently her business was over £4-million in debt...

Pride? Who knows what complexities goes on in the minds of people who are losing their ability to think rationally. Asking for help seems so obvious.

I've noticed criticism from some quarters about her death being reported (as I did) as "the partner of Mick Jagger" rather than as a person in her own right. In my defence, I only really knew of her as Mick Jagger's rather striking, girlfriend, who always seemed to have a smile on her face.

How sad that after 13 years she didn't feel able to ask Mick for help. Her debts would have been a tiny drop compared to his wealth. I'm sure he would rather have helped her turn her business round than have her dead.

How sad, she looked so full of energy, vitality, life.

Sad to feel so desperate that life isn't worth living. However, if one gets the knot right, hanging is a very quick way to die as the neck snaps instantly. Of course, if one gets the knot wrong, it can take quite a long time to suffocate.

How awful. Goes to show that other people's lives , however glamorous they may seem are not always to be envied.

I believe he did phoenix

Didn't Alexander McQueen do the same?

terrible. poor girl must have been struggling. i wish people would talk. outwardly a fabulous life. obviously a different story inwardly.

Yes, 13 apparently. Hanging must be such a horrible way to go...

Her name used to really annoy me - till I worked out it was just a fancy way of spelling "Lauren".

She would always be smiling in photos. I'm sure he is devastated, they have been together for a number of years.

How awful. They'd been together quite a long time hadn't they?

Oh no! I heard it just now on the news. Mick Jagger has said he is 'devastated.'

God, that's horrible! What a way to do it.

They have just said the same on Radio 4.

I see from Twitter, apparent suicide. "Found hanged"
