L'Wren Scott's death has been confirmed as suicide.
A post mortem conducted today has ruled that the 49-year-old fashion designer's cause of death was hanging, New York City authorities have announced.
Police earlier said there was no sign of foul play and no note was found when L'Wren's assistant discovered her in her Manhattan apartment Monday morning (17.03.14).
She reportedly had a scarf wrapped around her neck which had been tied to the handle of a French door.
The model-turned-designer's partner of 13 years, Sir Mick Jagger, is struggling to cope with the tragic loss of his "lover and best friend".
The Rolling Stones cancelled their seven-date tour of Australia and New Zealand after news broke of her passing, with Mick's bandmates also paying tribute to the iconic designer.
The 'Brown Sugar' hitmaker said in a statement: "We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.
"I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her, Mick."
L'Wren - who was reportedly almost $6 million in debt when she died - had cancelled her London Fashion Week show in January and is said to have been planning to close her business, LS Fashion LTD, this week.

Lea Michele wants a role on 'American Horror Story'.
The actress is gearing up to film the final season of 'Glee' and intends to remain loyal to show creator Ryan Murphy as long as he wants her to play uptight Rachel Berry - but would happily jump ship to his other pet project for its upcoming carnival-themed series four.
Quizzed whether there might be a Rachel spin-off in the works, Lea remained coy and told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres: "I come from Broadway and on Broadway you stay in a show and that's it. You make it your home. So for me, I like the schedule, I like the routine, and I love Ryan and I love Rachel Berry. So I'll be Rachel singing in a senior citizens home for everyone.
"I've literally have said before that I will work for Ryan Murphy for the rest of my life. Unless he wants to put me on 'American Horror Story', I know what the theme is for next year and I'm in if he'll have me at least maybe for one episode. Let's start that campaign right now actually!"
Like her alter-ego, it appears 27-year-old singer is every inch the perfectionist and she admits spending the entire day before a performance rehearsing her musical numbers.
Lea laughed: "It's a whole day's process - like, no dairy for the day, and I really try to watch everything that I eat, and get lots of sleep and warm up. I'll sing the whole song, but only on the sound, like 'ma,' so that it sounds really weird. People think that I'm crazy."
The star is currently celebrating her debut album 'Louder' reaching the top of the charts, and feels the record benefitted from the last minute addition of several "sad songs", which she penned following the tragic death of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith last summer.
She explained: "The album was actually completed [in] June of last year. Over the two years of recording it, it took different sounds, and we were very poppy for a while. And then, it got a little darker and then we found a really good, I think, balance on the whole record."

Harry Styles and Liam Payne have taken two fans out on a date.
The One Direction stars treated two competition winners to a slap-up meal at the Soho Sanctum Hotel in London on Tuesday evening (18.03.14) thanks to Trekstock Charity, which supports young people affected by cancer.
The boys said in a joint statement on the charity's website: "It's something we've never, ever done before. We'll fly one grand-prize winner and a friend from wherever they are in the world, and they'll spend three nights at an exclusive hotel in Central London.
"They'll also receive £500 in vouchers to spend on London's famous Carnaby Street before joining us both for an evening out!"
Harry and Liam happily posed for photos with the lucky winners, and were predictably mobbed by a crowd of superfans as they arrived at the swanky location.
The curly-haired 'Midnight Memories' singer wrote on Twitter earlier in the evening: "I'm meeting up with pals from @trekstock later... See you in a bittt .x (sic)"
Meanwhile, Liam teased in the weeks beforehand: "Only a few weeks until we meet two of our amazing fans in London with @trekstock. Excitinggggggg!!!!! #HangWithLiamAndHarry."
Trekstock launched in March 2010 and aims to raise funds to beat cancer as well as promoting awareness via music, fashion, art and trekking expeditions.

Hugh Jackman's stalker has been released from jail.
Obsessed fan Katherine Thurston pleaded guilty to burglary, stalking and harassment earlier this month and was declared free to go this afternoon (19.03.14) after spending almost a year behind bars.
The 46-year-old woman was given a plea deal which will see her do six months probation in her native California, the New York Daily News is reporting.
Katherine memorably accosted 'Les Miserables' hunk Hugh in Gotham Gym in Greenwich Village, New York City, last April, where she charged at him wielding an electric razor and implored him to marry her.
She told cops she had arrived in the Big Apple two months earlier with the sole intention of wooing Hugh, insisting, "I want to marry him. It's not against the law to have two wives."
The actor - who has been happily married to Deborra-Lee Furness since 1996 - was at the gym buffing up for his role as clawed superhero Wolverine in the 'X-Men' franchise at the time, and expressed concern about the safety of his family.
One month earlier, Katherine had turned up outside Hugh's daughter Ava's school to confront Deborra-Lee.
According to police, she informed her: "I'm going to marry your husband."
The superfan declined to comment as she left court today, and her attorney Liz Beal told the Daily News: "She's happy the case is over and she's looking forward to getting back with her family."

Shailene Woodley likes manly men.
The 'Divergent' star recently admitted she doesn't limit herself to one sex when it comes to falling in love and has now revealed she likes her men to be as rugged and masculine as possible.
Quizzed about her feminist tendancies, she joked: "I love males too, though, I do! I like to be a feminist, but I'm also a... maleist? What would you call that? I'm a strong woman who loves men."
Probed further by E! News about what she goes for in a potential partner, Shailene quipped: "You gotta let a man be a man, right? And let a woman be a woman."
The 22-year-old actress has drawn comparisons to young Hollywood leading ladies Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart, who star in similar Young Adult fiction blockbuster adaptations, 'The Hunger Games' and 'Twilight' respectively.
And Shailene - who plays fearless heroine Tris Prior in 'Divergent' - has no complaints about the comparisons because she is a fan of all "strong, confident" women.
The former 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' star added to E!: "It's totally flattering just to be compared to characters like that. Also, I don't personally know Kristen or Jen but they both seem like strong, confident women and so I'll take a comparison. That's a compliment, right?"

Oprah Winfrey is creating her own tea line for Starbucks.
The chat show legend has teamed up with the coffee shop giant to create the perfect chai blend, which will be available in store from April 29.
The 60-year-old star joined Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz onstage this morning (19.03.14) during the coffee retailer's annual shareholder's meeting to announce the news.
She said: "My daily tea ritual is a vital part of my morning. Savory and spicy chai, with its deep flavour, has long been a favourite of mine.
"When Howard Schultz offered to have me come into the Starbucks tasting room and create my very own tea blend, I thought that sounded like such a unique opportunity and fun to the tenth power.
"Starbucks is not just a coffee company... it's about nurturing the human spirit."
Proceeds from the tea's sales will go towards charities which that focus on a cause close to Oprah's heart, youth education.
They include her South African boarding school, the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls.
It appears the business deal has blossomed from a friendship, with 'The Butler' star first becoming acquainted with Schultz when she interviewed him for her 'Super Soul Sunday' series last year.

L'Wren Scott's family want her to be buried in Utah.
The late fashion designer, who was found dead in her New York City apartment on Monday (17.03.14) morning in an apparent suicide, was adopted as a child by a devout Mormon couple and her siblings are hoping she will be laid to rest in her hometown where her close-knit family can mourn her peacefully.
L'Wren was particularly close to her older brother Randall Bambrough and her sister Jan Shane.
Rob Shane, her brother-in-law, told the New York Daily News: "Jan is hoping that Randy will do the right thing and bring L'Wren back to Utah. The family has a plot at a cemetery in North Ogden, and she would like her sister buried by their parents."
He revealed that Jan physically collapsed when she discovered L'Wren's passing, after the tragic news broke that the 49-year-old designer had been found hanging from a scarf on a doorknob by her assistant.
Rob added: "She was devastated. L'Wren and Jan were very close growing up and really up until the death of their mother six years ago.
"She often told Jan she was envious of Jan having a family. I remember Jan saying, 'You have fame and fortune.' But L'Wren said, 'Yes, but you have a family.' "
He also confirmed that no funeral plans had yet been made for the former model, who divided her time between New York, London and Paris with her partner of 13 years, Sir Mick Jagger.
The 70-year-old rocker is struggling to come to terms with his loss and has been very distant since hearing the news, his Rolling Stones bandmate Charlie Watts has revealed.

Khloe Kardashian swears by Spanx.
The bubbly reality star - who is currently promoting the latest Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy with her sisters Kim and Kourtney - says her top tip for looking good on the red carpet is the body-hugging undergarment, which gives the illusion of a streamlined figure and makes her feel more confident.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "My number one secret is Spanx. Suck it in! I don't care how skinny you are, it's not about making you look thinner, it's about no lines. And let's suck all that stuff in! I'm all for Spanx.
"But other than that, water. It changes your skin. I was never into water when I was younger - but now I'm all about it because I'm mature and wiser now!"
In spite of the Kardashian sisters' gorgeous looks, Khloe admits the girls all suffer from body insecurities and she is especially self-conscious about her upper arms.
The 29-year-old beauty explained: "I hate my arms, they're my least favourite body part so I love to cover them up. We have some great jackets in the Kollection, even with a fitted dress, I like to put a little jacket over it.
"I think [with my sisters], our body insecurities rotate. Other than that I think, just show it off!"
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' stars have been busy expanding their fashion empire with the launch of the Kardashian Kids range, but Khloe joked she hasn't been much help compared to Kim - who has nine month old daughter North with Kanye West - and Kourtney - mother to Mason, four, and Penelope, 20 months - because all she does is coo over the small clothes.
She said: "Now that North is here and Kim is dressing her and Penelope's getting older, Kourtney and Kim are definitely more opinionated than I am.
"I just think everything is so cute because everything in little sizes is just so adorable! But Kourtney and Kim know what fabrics are better because they have kids so that's interesting."
The Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy is available in selected Lipsy stores and at www.lipsy.co.uk.
