British actress and model Lucy Gordon has been found dead of an apparent suicide in her Paris apartment, police sources in the French capital said. She was 28.

Probably both...and HE doesn’t remember anything. I had a friend whose step-son murdered his “girlfriend” in a drug induced rage.....it was awful....

. . .my gut says it’s a homicide. Actually, in both cases.

Agree; perhaps she was 'drugged' a bit; so as to facillitate all this. No matter what; a horrible end and a terrible sadness for all involved.

Talk about awful, a coworker of mine had a friend commit suicide last year by using a power drill to drill a hole through his own heart. Another woman I worked with many years ago had a family member kill himself by somehow managing to cut off his own head on a table saw.

Yes, horrible things can erupt when one is on drugs. . .I am guessing he went to jail?

[goodnesswins]

were drugs involved? My grandfather hung himself (when my Father was 13) and he had alcohol problems....and probably mental problems.

OH, yes, he went to jail....and credited my friend (his Step Mom) with being the ONLY one who would call him on his “issues”....don’t know if he’s still there....this was about 16 years ago...he apologized to the girl’s family, for whatever it was worth...

From 'Daily Telegraph':

She is believed to have been devastated after the recent suicide of a close friend in the U.K.

Gordon's body was found at her apartment at la Rue des Petites Ecuries after her boyfriend alerted a nearby shopkeeper. An unnamed detective tells the Daily Telegraph

Really, a million and one sad stories out there. . .for sure.

It was an open casket funeral in a protestant church.

Gotcha - this was a Catholic service. Thank you for sharing.

Dear God, she was two days shy of her 29th birthday.

I tend to be a bit cynical - wondering how many suicides really are.

Sad. RIP.

It is very unusual for a woman to hang herself. The police should be very thorough.
