Kate Spade commits suicide

Fashion Designer Kate Spade Dies at 55 - The Hollywood Reporter Fashion Designer Kate Spade Dies at 55 — The Hollywood Reporter

Having purchased quite a few of her creations over the years for ex-wives and girlfriends, I personally experienced this woman’s huge influence on fashion. I don’t know if she grappled with depression or what the cause was, but this is shocking.

There are a lot of women losing their **** right now across America.

This is on par with Len Bias or Earnhardt for sports fans.

 

[CD Boogie]

She left behind a 12-year-old daughter, who is now ****ing ruined for life.

Can't disagree with that. One journalist friend (hardly the fashionista type) posted how she was in a low-paying newspaper gig and squirreled away money for a while to get a Spade bag.

She left behind a 12-year-old daughter, who is now ****ing ruined for life.

Yup. Ugh.

Hung (or is it hanged) herself by the doorknob? How high up on the door was the knob, or is it too early to ask that?

 

[Donny in his element]

Listened to her NPR Planet Money/How I Built This interview just a few weeks ago. And given that she's a KC native, you can imagine how this will play locally.

You just sit down.

 

[TigerVols]

I believe Robin Williams killed himself in the same manner.

 

[HanSenSE]

I can visualize that. One must be truly determined at that point to punch their own ticket that way.

I just googled Andy Spade and, well, I wonder what he looked like when he was younger.

A. ****.

If you would have told me 3 years ago that Lange and **** would still be walking the earth, I wouldn't have believed you.

Merriam-Webster doesn't mess around with niceties when it comes to this.

Use hanged when referring to a person being suspended by a rope around the neck until dead.

Hung herself with a scarf ... and with her husband in the next room.

Kate Spade found dead in Park Avenue apartment of apparent suicide | Daily Mail Online

Is anyone buying this?

 

[Scout]

They keep saying "apparent" so I guess the police have not finished.

 

[Iron_chet]

Just gruesome. First heard of someone hanging from a doorknob when the suicide is faked in an episode of The Wire.

Chris Cornell hung himself with an exercise band draped over the door, so maybe something like that? I don’t know. Suicide makes me unreasonably angry and irrational when children are involved. You’re murdering that kid without actually doing it. I’m sure more will come to light, especially with the husband in the apartment at the time, but all I can focus on is the daughter and the useless suicide note absolving her of responsibility. I know depression is a dark illness, a disease, and she was obviously suffering from mental illness. My gf’s father hung himself five years ago and the impact is incalcuable. Some of the most random things trigger her memories and associations and it’s like negotiating a minefield at times.
