Police are still investigating the death of a model who fell nine stories from her apartment in Lower Manhattan yesterday afternoon. Published reports identified the victim as 20-year-old Kazakh fashion model Ruslana Korshunova. They say she died around 2:30 yesterday afternoon after falling from her building on Water Street, and that her death appears to be a suicide. The Kazakhstan native was discovered in November 2003 when bookers for a modeling agency saw her in a flight magazine. She subsequently appeared in fashion shows in London and New York and modeled for Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs and Cynthia Rowley.
