Rolling Stone Mick Jagger’s girlfriend found dead in New York apartment

Fashion designer L’Wren Scott, the girlfriend of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, has been found dead from an apparent suicide in her Manhattan apartment, police said. She was 47.

Scott, a former model whose slim-fitting, boldly printed dresses were favorites among Hollywood’s A-list stars such as Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams and Penelope Cruz, was found hanging from a scarf.

"We are investigating it as a suicide," said New York police Detective Kelly Ort.

Jagger, 70, who just over a week ago wowed a 10,000-strong crowd in Macau, said through a spokesperson that he was "completely shocked and devastated". Scott’s family issued a statement asking for privacy.
