Fashion Designer Kate Spade Found Dead In Reported Suicide

Iconic fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead in her apartment early Tuesday morning, according to reports. She was 55-years-old.


Authorities indicated to TMZ that a housekeeper found Spade’s body in her home on Park Avenue, New York City. Reports state that Spade hung herself with a scarf on her bedroom door, and, a note was found alongside her body.
