Kate Spade Death

Designer extraordinaire, Kate Spade, is dead at the age of 55 due to an apparent suicide. Kate was reportedly found hanged in her NYC apartment today by a housekeeper. Kate rose to fame with her handbags and other fashion accessories.

Born in Missouri, Kate fashioned her way into American homes by designing sophisticated but fashionable bags. Handbags with her name on them became a popular item quickly and her brand skyrocketed to new heights. She paved the way for other designers such as Jenna Lyons from J Crew. Kate, along with her future husband and friend began a company that soon became a household name.

The suicide comes as a shock to the fashion world as well as her many fans and family. It is rumored that she left a note behind but currently the police have not stated what the note said. As with any suicide, the reasoning behind it was certainly not of the intensity that it was worth taking her life for. Anyone that considers suicide, needs to be aware that the solution is not taking your life. No problem, big or small, is worth your life!

Business woes, money problems, marital problems, or any similar things might have been the reason that she felt led to the suicide choice, but it certainly was not the best decision. Kate leaves behind a husband and daughter. I feel for the two of them in the deepest way because her decision has ultimately changed their lives forever.

PLEASE, if you are considering taking your own life, call the suicide hotline and speak to someone. Listen to the advice they give and think of the harm that it will do to those dear to you. A young daughter is without a mom that she needs a great deal. A husband is without a wife. Sadly, her decision is only the beginning of a chain of emotions that will be felt within the coming days.
