Top male model found dead after falling from apartment window hours before Milan fashion show

French model Nicon worked for Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Hugo Boss and had just returned from a Versace rehearsal before he was found dead.

Police in Milan said today they were treating the death as suicide and investigating suggestions he had suffered from a ''complicated affair of love.''

A police source in Milan said: 'We have spoken to the friends he was staying with and they have told us that he had recently broken up with his girlfriend and was depressed.''

  

Organisers said the Fashion Week show would go ahead as planned and designers paid tribute to Nicon, with Donatella Versace saying: 'He was with us on Friday morning for a final fitting.

'He seemed fine and calm. He had already done three or four shows with us and he was a sweet boy. We just can't understand why he did what he did. We would never have thought he would do something like this.
