In December 2017 a friend of mine, model Simone Linsell died by suicide, one of the most beautiful women I have ever met who just couldn’t cope any longer and this really shook everybody in the entertainment industry.

Model's tragic death was a 'cry for help'.
It followed years of mental health issues.

A model who hanged herself did not mean to take her own life but was making a cry for help, an inquest has heard.

Simone Cara Linsell was found dead at her home in Yeaveley, near Ashbourne, in the early hours of the morning of December 6, 2017.


Derby Coroner's Court heard how Ms Linsell had a history of mental health issues, had previously taken an overdose and had been self-harming.

But assistant coroner Tanyka Rawden said that on the balance of probability she did not think that Ms Linsell intended to take her own life and that the situation "had gone wrong, no-one came and no-one realised she had died".

Ms Rawden said: "She had taken a friend's dressing gown cord a couple of days before and could have been planning something but she also had time on her own and ample opportunity to take her life when no-one was there but didn't.

"I am persuaded that she would have written letters to loved ones because she wrote letters and notes to people regularly and also she would know there were two people in the house who loved her and if they had known would have stopped her. She did not leave any notes.

"Earlier in the night, Ms Linsell was pushing her partner to give her medication and threatened to hang herself when he wouldn't give it to her.

"It is a difficult decision but I find that she didn't intend to take her own life, it was a cry for help and I conclude that this was misadventure."
