According to the newspaper Bild, the police are not investigating the case as a murder or similar. In a statement gathered by the German newspaper, the police assure that "nothing points to the participation or negligence of third parties."

Until about a week ago, the model had been in a relationship with Jérôme Boateng (according to Bild and other German media). He is a German soccer star who won the World Cup with the national team in 2014 and is currently playing for Bayern Munich. Press reports suggest that the relationship had been difficult and convulsive at many times.

The death of a 25-year-old woman with no history of serious illness has led police to suspect a possible unnatural death. They are investigating the possibility of suicide.

Kasia Lenhardt participated in 2012 in the contest 'Germany's Next Top Model' with Heidi Klum as one of its coaches. She came in fourth.

Born in Poland, Kasia dreamed of being a star on the catwalk since she was a child. Her participation in the German talent show brought her the career and fame she had longed for. However, it also caused her to become the center of attention by German media detailing all her excesses and mistakes.

Kasia Lenhardt died a premature and unnatural death: a tragedy under investigation. Her young life was adorned with fame but had dark shadows. The model is leaving behind a son of six years.
