The 40 year old great controversial British designer was found dead in his London home Thursday. After anguished Internet postings that revealed his deep sorrow at the death of his mother, circumstances pointed to a possible suicide but there was no official confirmation from police or McQueen's publicists. Police said the death was not suspicious, apparently ruling out foul play, and did not give any immediate indication of how the death was discovered.
The Sun tabloid on Thursday cited an anonymous source on its Web site who said an ambulance was called at 10 a.m. and workers found McQueen hanging in his apartment. The newspaper gave no further details.
McQueen's sudden death robbed the fashion scene of one of its most innovative and successful young designers. His clothes were sexy and distinctive, dramatic and different, perfect for red-carpet presentations and late night rock gatherings.
He made his name first in London, then wooed audiences in Paris, New York and Milan to take his place in the upper echelons of the design world.
Yet recently posted comments on his Twitter page showed that McQueen was distraught over the Feb. 2 death of his mother. He said he wanted his mother to rest in peace "but life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Using an obscenity, he added that he had had an "awful week" and said he had to "some how pull myself together and finish."
