Lady Gaga mourns Zombie Boy Rick Genest's death, says it's "beyond devastating"
This year has been seriously unkind to the showbiz industry. Model Rick Genest, who is better known as Zombie Boy who wooed us in Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' music video in 2011 has passed away. The 32-year-old heavily tattooed star died of an apparent suicide. His body was found in his apartment in Montreal, Canada at the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood Radio Canada reported on Wednesday. Zombie Boy would have celebrated his 33rd birthday just next week on August 7.
He had modeled for many top brands and has appeared in GQ and Vogue. He really burst into the spotlight after Lady Gaga's stylist spotted him and he was featured in her highly successful video for 'Born This Way'. He's also acted in several films and shows like '47 Ronin' and 'Silent Witness.'
