Jean-Luc Brunel found hanged in prison cell, Epstein found hanged in prison cell, Model Ruslana Korshunova apparently jumped from her ninth floor apartment at Wall Street and Water St. in New York on June 28, 2008, just before 2:30 pm.
A man named Patrick was nearby and described it as follows: "I heard what sounded like a gunshot, a bomb or an explosion," a stunned Con Ed worker told a nearby police officer before Ruslana jumped.
"I looked down the street and asked the officer, 'Did this person just get hit by a car?'" said the worker, identified only as Patrick, 32, of Brooklyn.
The two men were run over. "Her arms were crushed," Patrick said. "Her head was on the left side, and there was blood coming out."
Police said there were no signs of a struggle inside the apartment. Source: nypost
The day of Ruslana's death
Ruslana's ex-boyfriend Artem Perchenok was the last person to see her. Strange things happened that day. 24 hours before Ruslana's death, she wanted to spend more time with him, which she usually didn't do, but Artem wanted to leave and go away. It was about 4:45 in the morning.
When they found Ruslana, she was wearing a purple T-shirt, blue jeans and no shoes.
Vogue magazine described Korshunova as "a girl who can drive you crazy with her fabulous beauty. In 2005, she was hailed as "the most important discovery of New York Fashion Week. Models1 agency representative Debbie Jones (the same one who "discovered" Korshunova after seeing her photo in a magazine in Almaty) told reporters, "Everyone at our agency just adores Ruslana. I happened to see her and she became a girl for us. Just the kind of girl we needed to find. She is incredibly feminine and graceful. And she will become a real star, believe me! Unfortunately.

Naqib politely informed the police about the dreadful discovery.
- After thanking me politely, they simply hung up. However, there was never an invitation for questioning. Even Moscow pathologist Sergei, who prepared Ruslana's body at the Troekurovsky Cemetery morgue, mentions the cut hair.
- Hair can fall out due to a strong impact, but they shouldn't become shorter! When I was preparing the girl's body for the funeral, I noticed that her hair was in very poor condition. I even suggested to her relatives to get a wig for her, but they declined. The hair tips were extremely uneven. It looked as if someone had tied them into a bundle and then cut them with scissors.

Ruslana was indeed very artistic and talented.
"She could create any picture," recalls photographer Boris Brul. "And everyone noticed something else: she was an exceptionally modest girl. She didn't photograph herself 'topless' and was even outraged when others were photographed that way. Once she came up to me and said: 'What debauchery!
Eva confirms: "Yes, the girl has a steel core!"
"Once Listerman himself called Ruslana (the most famous secular procurer - 'Izvestia')," Eva Becher recounts. - I was sitting next to her. She laughed and said that she couldn't even tell such a person to go to hell: education. And how outraged she was when an American photographer invited her to sleep with him for his work!
As tragic as the death of this beautiful and decent girl is, there is a kind of diabolical logic in it - she simply did not fit into the unspoken rules of this damned and so seductive profession with her philosophy of life.
We arrived at the house around three in the morning. Artem did not enter the house. He said goodbye and left. The next day Ruslana's body was found in the street near the house. It was 14:30, she was lying on the median...
"At the police station, I was given a bag with Ruslana's personal belongings," Valentina says. - In addition to small change, a passport, jewelry and plastic cards, there were two keys to that unfortunate apartment. I tried to open the door with them, but they didn't fit! The janitor came and opened the door with his keys. It was a disaster. Three suitcases were open. The question is: Why didn't Ruslana's keys, given to me by the police, fit? Were they replaced? BY WHOM? I want an answer to this question! Source: Here is the picture!
Valentina Korshunova wrote a statement to the Kazakh Foreign Ministry demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances of Ruslana's death.
Ruslana's mother, Valentina Korshunova, is dissatisfied with the way the New York police handled her daughter's death. She even organized a fundraising campaign for an independent investigation and opened a special account.
"I have opened an account for an independent investigation into the circumstances of my daughter's death," Valentina Korshunova told Izvestia. - This money will be used to pay private investigators who, in my opinion, will be able to solve the mystery of my daughter's murder.
And also:
To: New City Police Department
We, the family and friends of Ruslana Korshunova, have a strong suspicion that her death may not have been a suicide. There are indications that someone else may have been involved. Ruslana's tragedy has left scars in our hearts that still burn without justice.
We stand by our convictions and call on the NYPD to reopen the case.
Sincerely,
The undersigned >>> www.petitiononline.com/ruslana/

Some seriously suspect that Artem may have contributed to Ruslana's death. It's very suspicious: immediately after the tragedy, the guy deleted his page on Odnoklassniki. Others claim that Artem stalked Ruslana and was "a real psycho". However, there is no confirmation of these rumors.
On her last morning, about ten hours before her death, Ruslana opened a page on Odnoklassniki. There we found several sad lines about unhappy love. These are quotes from the song of the group "Chile": "Why did I meet you?! / Why did you let me love you so much in vain? / And if you only knew how terrible it is not to be loved, but to love! / I gave love and forgave insults / I hid the pain in my heart, waiting for a miracle / You came back, you flew in like a bird / You brought love and the fear of saying goodbye / I forgave you, as it happened once / I returned to the pond of tender eyes for you / You left again and came back / A castle of pink dreams from destroyed walls / I gave warmth, forgot everything / I gave everything I have, you just didn't notice...".
To whom did the girl dedicate it? It's unlikely that the lines were meant for Artem. They broke up in the spring, but remained good friends. It turns out that Ruslana has a new boyfriend since March this year - Mark Kaminsky. American journalists found Mark. He assures that he saw no reason to commit suicide: "Everything was going well with us. She was happy!"
Mark last saw Ruslana around noon on Saturday, about two hours before her death. They had planned to go to her best friend's birthday party that evening. Kaminsky, 32, works in the car export business and doesn't mind partying in his spare time. The photos speak volumes. In one of the pictures, Mark is smoking pot. The deceased's friend insists that such pastimes were foreign to Ruslana, who grew up in a decent family. It seems that Mark and Ruslana were too different.

Ruslana's photographer, Anton APARIN: "The reason could be jealousy"
We contacted a social photographer in New York who personally knew Ruslana. It turned out that he had only recently learned about Korshunova's love tragedy, which could have led to the suicide of a quite successful model in her career.
- I live in New York. We film almost the entire show. Ruslana has worked a lot; I often photographed her and knew her personally. She invited me to her birthday on July 2 - she would have turned 21. She's a young girl who has achieved a lot. Everything was fine in her career. And the reason for her action was different.
After the news of Ruslana's death, my friend called me and told me that her closest friend had found out from the newspapers that her longtime boyfriend, actually her fiancé, was with Ruslana! This girl was sure she was the only one with Mark, and after reading the newspapers, she simply went into shock!
She went out with Mark, and they spent a lot of time together. And only now have we found out that this Mark was leading a double life and was with two girls at the same time! Moreover, Ruslana was also sure that she was his only one. She was deeply in love with him.
- Did you know Mark?
- No. I repeat, my friend and Mark's fiancée hung out in the same group. I didn't hang out with them - I'm 42, and they are 20. And I accidentally learned about Mark's secret, their love triangle. Mark met with Korshunova a few hours before the tragedy. I believe he either told her himself that he had someone else, or she saw their photos. Mark's fiancée boasted about it; maybe he had her too... Ruslana is fundamentally a balanced girl, but after learning about her lover's double life, she apparently couldn't survive it.
- If parents and close people were nearby to support her, probably nothing bad would have happened. And here I was left alone at night with bitter thoughts. I don't think she took drugs. She probably took sleeping pills to calm down. But probably, the emotional distress was so strong that she took this step. Besides, there were barriers on the window; she tore them all apart and did what she did. I feel incredibly sorry for her. She was a good girl.
