NEW YORK (AP) - L'Wren Scott, who left her small-town Utah home as a teenager to become a model in Paris, then a top Hollywood stylist and finally a high-end fashion designer best known as the longtime girlfriend of Mick Jagger, has died in what was being investigated as an apparent suicide.

Scott was found dead in her Manhattan apartment at 10 a.m. Monday; no note was found and there was no sign of foul play, police said. The designer had texted her assistant 90 minutes earlier and asked her to come to her apartment but didn't say why. She was found kneeling with a scarf wrapped around her neck that had been tied to the handle of a French door, police said.

Her spokesperson requested privacy for her family and friends. Just last month Scott, who was believed to be 49 but had not disclosed her precise age, canceled her London Fashion Week show, due to reported production delays.

Jagger's representative said the singer was "completely shocked and devastated by the news" of her death.

3. the difference is adopted people get to live their lives and they make a decision to their lives

aborted children don't get even that and their lives are ended by someone else's decision. btw I doubt she killed herself over her adoption it is probably more about the 6 million she's in debt.

4. This is the type of drivel that make many of us want to drive a knife into our eye

[leftyohiolib]

5. yea i thought the same thing-

why would someone hijack a death notice for a political statement

[me b zola]

6. My mother, like millions of others, didn't want to relinquish me let alone abort

To those who dismiss the experience of adoptees with drivel about "well, at least you weren't aborted" and "they had a much better life then they could have with a poor unmarried girl", I say Donald Trump is sending a car to your house for your children. They will be grateful because at least they weren't aborted and they'll have more money.

[leftyohiolib]

8. ok yea i see how those are totally the same you've completely change my whole attitude

not drivel just facts don't believe me? ask a few people which choice would they have wanted their mother to make

[me b zola]

9. Are you using adoptees for an anti-choice screed?

Don't make me a part of your agenda

11. just responding to your post

Debunking OBC Access Myths and Fears; Abortion Rates Will Go Up

By Claudia Corrigan DArcy | March 16, 2014 | Adoptee Rights, Adoption Research & Statistics


~snip~

Protecting the Poor Birthmothers Who Are Afraid!

Seriously, I am getting tired of writing about this.
1.The historical date and research does not hold up that the majority of mother fear contact with adult adoptees. The number is less than 1% when given the choice to allow adoptees OBC access.
2.The “promises” that were given by adoption attorneys were in fact, lies.
3.The actual surrender documents prove that there were no legal promises and in truth, the BIRTHMOTHERS were told to stay away.
4.DNA and social media searches both make any concept of privacy null anyway .

But then, even with all that we still have the big deep fear of all fears: allowing a group of already alive people receiving access to their legal documents will somehow increase abortions.

7. There are no "aborted children." Aborted pregnancies don't produce children. That's the point. nt

[magical thyme]

13. no. abortions are done to zygotes, embryos and fetuses. those are not children.

and if you don't want to have the abortion debate again, then just take your hands off the keyboard. All you had to do was ignore the offensive post instead of egging the poster on.

[wisteria]

14. An abortion is performed on a fetus-not a child. There are many biological differences

between a developing fetus and a child. Or do you come from the every egg is sacred group?

[LeftyMom]

15. If that's what you think you don't belong on this website. nt

[friendly_iconoclast]

19. Agreed. One-third of that poster's username is probably accurate

I'd be willing to stipulate that they are, in fact, from Ohio...

21. Sympathies and Condolences to Mick and L'Wren Scott's family on their loss.

As an aside, many of the responses in this thread showed remarkably poor taste.

It's fine if people want to get into an online pissing contest about topics that they care about, but this wasn't the thread to do it in.

23. Beautiful person, so sad

that she is gone. Peace to all who loved her.
