L’Wren Scott, Mick Jagger’s GF, found dead in New York City
NEW YORK — L’Wren Scott, a fashion designer and celebrity stylist who was Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, was found dead in Manhattan of a possible suicide, a law enforcement official said Monday.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the victim’s next of kin had not yet been notified.
The official said Scott’s assistant found her hanging from a doorknob at 10 a.m. Monday. The official said no note was found and there was no sign of foul play.
A spokeswoman for Mick Jagger says the singer was “completely shocked and devastated by the news.”
The Utah-born Scott had her own fashion label popular with celebrities. She was a fixture on Jagger’s arm and, at around 6-foot-3, towered over her famous boyfriend.
