Scott, 47, a former model, was found hanging from a scarf in her apartment on Monday morning.

Police confirmed that Scott was found “unconscious and unresponsive” in an apartment building on 11th Avenue in Manhattan.

A spokesperson for Jagger said he is “completely shocked and devastated” by the news. The pair have been dating since 2001.

The following tweet was posted from Scott’s Twitter account an hour before her body was discovered.

Scott, who was raised in Utah, started her career as a fashion model in Paris before becoming a designer.

In 2013, she announced a deal to design a small collection for Banana Republic stores.

Just last month she canceled her London Fashion Week show, due to reported production delays.
