The New York Medical Examiner has ruled that noted fashion designer L’Wren Scott’s death was a suicide.

The Associated Press is reporting that an autopsy was conducted on Tuesday, and it was determined Scott's cause of death was hanging.

According to the report, Scott sent her assistant a text message about 90 minutes before she was found dead on Monday morning and asked her to come to her Chelsea apartment. The assistant found Scott kneeling with a scarf around her neck, which had been tied to a French door.

Scott, 49, apparently had hefty debt, and former New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn wrote in an op-ed piece that appeared in the newspaper on March 18 that Scott was planning to announce the closure of her business this week.

Scott was the longtime girlfriend of Mick Jagger, and The Rolling Stones canceled its Australian and New Zealand tour after being notified of her death.
