The LWren Scott suicide would have been right up his alley. He specialized in writing on celebrity misbehaviors
Coincidentally I'm re-reading his "An Inconvenient Woman" the saga of the Alfred and Betsy Bloomingdale scandal which involved him stiffing his long-time mistress Vicki Morgan on his death bed. She sued for palimony (and lost) and Betsy flatly refused to give her more than $40,000 (instead of the quarter million he'd promised.) When she got out of rehab, she shared an apartment in the Valley with a sociopath who killed her with a baseball bat. I mention this example to show what Dunne wrote about.
L'Wren (born Laura, often called Luanne) was an orphan adopted by a Mormon family in a little Utah town and went on to become a model and then fashion designer. Then she hit the big time when she met Mick Jagger in 2001 or 2003 (depending on the newspaper you're reading.) They embarked on a 10 or 13 year relationship. At the time of her death she was 47 or 49. Accounts vary. Jagger's statement claims he was stunned that his "lover and best friend" did such a thing.
But: in later accounts, we read that she was recovering from a previous "self harm" several weeks ago.
Which coincides with the leaked news that Jagger had broken up with her several weeks ago. A "friend" said, "Jagger has blood on his hands!"
None of this would ever have caught my attention (although I was aware of the relationship) except for the fact that Scott was 6 ft. 4 in. tall barefoot and suicide by hanging herself from a door knob in the kitchen doorway that led to a balcony in her NY residence. Today's news reveals that she used a tie (presumably a men's tie) AND a black scarf to do the job. Apparently she was determined to go.
How the hell did a person 6 ft. 4 in. tall manage to hang themselves on a doorknob? Dominick would have found out for us, of that you may be sure.
