She was the face of the new Chanel advertising campaign and described as Karl Lagerfeld's latest "muse." But that wasn't enough to convince South Korean beauty Daul Kim that life was worth living. The 20-year-old model was found hanging in her Parisian apartment on Thursday.

Emergency services were called to the apartment in the trendy 10th arrondissement district, but they were unable to revive her. While police are investigating her death, it appears to be a suicide. In her own blog, Daul wrote of feeling depressed and lonely.

"My life as dual was so miserable and lonely. Please join my loneliness in another world. I love you all," she wrote back in April 2007. It seems her mood didn't improve, with a post this August reading "I need to learn how to stop destroying myself, stop being hard on myself and be nice to myself."

How tragic that this young model couldn't figure that out before her depression won out.
