Alexander McQueen Hanged Himself

Alexander McQueen hanged himself last week in his London apartment — and left a note — British coroners confirmed on Wednesday. The acclaimed fashion designer, beloved by such stars as Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Kate Moss, Gwen Stefani and many others, died at age 40 from asphyxiation and hanging.

Full autopsy results will be available in a few months; the office has not yet formally ruled the death a suicide.

The coroner’s office has not released the contents of McQueen’s final note. But McQueen had Tweeted numerous messages days earlier in which he grieved about the recent death of his mother, referencing his “awful week.”
