Coroner says teen Dutch model was dead before she fell from 20th floor of Malaysian highrise, but rules out murder
The ruling of coroner Mahyon Talib was slammed by the family and lawyer of Ivana Smit, who was found dead in Kuala Lumpur in December 2017
An 18-year-old Dutch model who fell from the 20th floor apartment of a Kuala Lumpur highrise in December 2017 was dead before she fell, according to a ruling by a Malaysian coroner.
We previously reported that the naked body of Ivana Smit, who had an upcoming role on Belgium's Next Top Model at the time of her death, was found dead and naked on the sixth floor of the up-market apartment building on December 7, 2017.
Police were quick to rule the incident as "sudden death," meaning it was either the result of an accident or suicide.
