Scott, who was a fashion designer and model, was reportedly found hanged to death in an apparent suicide in her apartment at 200 11<sup>th Ave. today.

The 47-year-old's body was found by her assistant at 10 a.m. this morning at her residence.

Scott and Jagger have been dating since 2001.

Scott was raised by adoptive parents in Utah and began her career as a model in Paris. She became a fashion designer after moving to Los Angeles and recently collaborated with Banana Republic.
