The supermodel who fell nine stories to her death on Saturday committed suicide, the NYC medical examiner has ruled.

The cause of death was blunt impact injuries, says the ME. Ruslana Korshunova's body was found on Water Street in the financial district on Saturday afternoon.

Ruslana appeared on the cover of international editions of Vogue and Elle.

46. Come on peeps. Sure its sad that a young woman saw no other way out. But on the same day other people in NY died tragicly, perhaps some even left children. Unfortunately we wont hear their stories, perhaps they werent as young, as pretty, or had a BMI greater than 16.5. Lets put the proper perspective on things. What did she contribute to society and the world? There will be another dimbulb ready to take her place.

48. #1 - of course you blame Buch. Do you have a college education? did you take out a mortgage you knew very well was beyond your means? Do you drive a car instead of using public transportation? do you pay too much for health insurance because you have to pick up the cost of treating illegal immigrants who don't pay? do you complain to your local representative about the high cost of oil & how the united states gets nothing in return for caring for mexicos deprived citizens (mexico has lots of oil - they should give our country some?) Do you have children you can't afford to care for? are you vocal in your oppostition to welfare for those that do?

49. #30 and #38
They are called Bible "thumpers"!

#30 - the poster was simply hoping that God will forgive her for taking her own life. It's not likely though - you can't ask forgiveness for something you did if you are dead.

50. Ok number 39, you think that you have all the answers, well your a human--mere mortals-what makes you think the bible doesn't work. It is the Word of the Lord and that is final.

If you expect someone to recognize your ignorance, at least pay attention and accept The Word.

You can read your posts and see your a corrupt individual so why even consider your words--"mere mortal".

53. They KNOW its a suicide because they have several witnesses that saw her cut open the protective netting over her balcony and jump. The netting was put up because of construction on her apt building. Then they witnessed her jump. Apparently these strangers' statements to police are enough for the coroner.

54. hey #7 actually I have a good living working in Veterinary Medicine as a technician and I'm perfectly.

I just can't stand people's whining. This is a gossip site, what the hell does he hope to accomplish. You want change? Go out and DO something, don't bitch about it on a tabloid site.

Help me, do it for me, give me freebies people piss me off. That's all. Have a nice day retard.

55. I feel sorry for posters like "Bliss" and "Stop the Madness" who genuinely believe that the Bible is the only way. You are truly ignorant. If you're such a holy roller, you shouldn't be on a gossip website in the first place. The Bible is a book of fiction and is not the only way. Most people who run around touting their Christianity every chance they get are the most judgmental, hypocritical, lying, scheming, selfish people in this world. If not, they would realize that other views matter and that the Bible isn't the only way.

56. First of all---Ruslova Korshunova's family lives in Kazakstan----she sent her model earnings to her mother. She was only 20 years old----she has only been in the business a couple of years---but she was well on her way to becoming a "supermodel". She did runway shows for all the top designers and was on the cover of all the international magazines like Vogue, Elle, etc---hardly JC Penney or Sears. Anyone in this business knows it takes some time to get started. Gisele Bundchen started modeling when she was 16---people didn't start hearing about her for three years when she started to do Victoria's Secret catalog.
Kate Moss is 34 years old----and has been in the business for 17 years---and has many endorsments--that is why she is a supermodel.
Why dismiss her as just another dimbulb model--not fair---you never met her----you know nothing about her--except what has been reported through her untimely death. If you want to label someone a dumbulb--try some of the people commenting on the various stories on TMZ----half of these people cannot spell or write out a coherent sentence--and number 43--you are a pig.

57. Well Pam I don't believe she needs forgiven for "what she did." Suicide is never the answer obviously but she isn't a bad person. She is still going to heaven and so are gays, people who don't attend church every Sundy, people who have had abortions, people of other religious backgrounds, etc. --despite what all you religious zealots think.

58. That is where you are wrong Molly.

We must agree to disagree at this point - because I don't want to bash you or you bash me.

59. Kazakhstan, Russia, it makes no difference. The mafia operates the same there. Everybody pays or they die!! There is still a very large Russian criminal element in Kazakhstan.

60. #47. All I'm going to say is this:

Ignorance is bliss. You must be very happy.
