NEW YORK - A European Vogue cover model fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment building Saturday in an apparent suicide, published reports said.

Ruslana Korshunova, 20, died around 2:30 p.m. in a fall from a building on Water Street, in Manhattan's Financial District, The New York Post, the Daily News and Newsday reported. The newspapers cited unnamed officials and police.

Police said the fall was under investigation. Korushnova's New York agency and a spokeswoman for medical examiners did not immediately return telephone messages.

Originally from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, the almond-eyed, flowing-haired Korshunova appeared in advertisements and on runways for such designers as Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci and DKNY. British Vogue hailed her as "a face to be excited about" in 2005.

I make no assumptions.

5. OR - Get pushed, THEN fall out of a window ...

Let's get real ... People have accidents all the time

Let's get real ... People get murdered all the time ....

Too early to call .....

6. True, yet, my point was, we still don't KNOW.

I hope it was suicide, the other options seem even, weirdly, more tragic. At least suicide involves a choice.

13. A gorgeous young girl, probably making lots of money,

jumps out the window? Hmm. I don't hope it was suicide, what I hope is that police actually investigates it rather then writing it off as suicide right from the start.

7. Damn...That's Terrible

Articles don't say who was at home with her when it happened. She was a really beautiful girl. Could it have been that bad? I'll guess they'll figure out what happened soon. Sad.

9. Bungee diet.

AKA "the protein plunge." Very dangerous.

10. Making another open NYC apartment that needs to lure a renter?

ust saying it is curious how the LBN headlines sometimes tell a story all their own.

11. She was diving out the window
