PARIS, France (AP) -- Police said Friday that a body found in the River Seine was that of Katoucha Niane, a former top model for Yves Saint Laurent and other top designers who spoke out against female genital mutilation after quitting the catwalks. The body of former top model Katoucha Niane has been found in the river Seine. 1 of 2 Paris judicial police said her body was found Thursday near the Garigliano bridge in Paris. Police said an autopsy showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that she may have accidentally fallen into the river. She had been missing since January and was last seen returning home from a party. She lived in a houseboat near Paris' Alexandre III bridge, and her handbag was later found on the boat. Katoucha became one of the first African women to attain stardom as a supermodel, becoming a muse for Saint Laurent and posing for top photographers like Irving Penn.

This is a private website. Your First Amendment rights in society have no bearing here.

However, you are free to spout off nonsense like kooks are often inclined to do. And the mods will clean it up.

When in a hole, keep digging, I guess!

:) Have a super day.

Wow. Calm down and give it a rest. The story is not what you think of how she earned her money, but that she was an outspoken critic of a culture that mutilates its women. And she’s found dead. Geesh...

“Your comments cheapen YOU.”

No, I wouldn’t let my daughter walk around like that.

Modesty isn’t so fashionable. That’s okay.

Thankfully I have FIrst Amednment Rights and can speak my opinion any time.

The first amendment states "Congress shall make no law..". We've got news for you, this is a private forum and we have standards. Knock it off!

“This is a private website. Your First Amendment rights in society have no bearing here.”

Perhaps you need an education on First Amendment Rights?

“However, you are free to spout off nonsense like kooks are often inclined to do. And the mods will clean it up.”

I don’t spout “nonsense”. I spout the obvious for those that can see. Let the mods “clean it up”. Let them stifle First Amendment Rights - and be hypocritical of what this website is all about. The LEFT stifles free speech all the time ... doesn’t make them any better ... .

“When in a hole, keep digging, I guess!”

No just pointing out hypocrisy and the OBVIOUS about this “model”.

“:) Have a super day.”

You too!

I ALWAYS have a great day!

This does not bode well for a contestant on America’s Next Top Model whose mission is to protect girls from female mutilation—and she’s very outspoken about it.
