"She's had her ups and downs but never anything that would lead to suicide," she was quoted as saying.

"She was a positive person," Korshunova's 26-year-old brother, Ruslan, agreed in a telephone interview, "She was not capable of such things."

A cousin, Nastya Chkopoya, 19, said "Everyone knows she was a good person. It's not suicide. Of course, she will be buried in her homeland."

Although born in Kazakhstan, Korshunova was known in the modeling business as the "Russian Rapunzel" because of her flowing chestnut hair.

Korshunova was four days from her 21st birthday. She was featured in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY and Vera Wang, and also made the cover of French Elle.

Before her death, Korshunova had a full schedule of high-profile modeling jobs in New York and had recently returned from Paris.
