Alexander McQueen Found Dead
British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 40, was found dead at his London home on Thursday morning, his office confirms.
"Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home," his family says in a statement to PEOPLE. "At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family."
"Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this," the statement continues.
According to the Scotland Yard report, “Police were called by London Ambulance Service at approximately 10:20 a.m. [Wednesday] regarding a man found dead ...The deceased is believed to be 40 years old and from London. Next of kin have been informed but formal identification is awaited. A postmostem examination will be arranged in due course. The death is being treated as non-suspicious at this time.”
One of McQueen's contemporary lines, McQ, was scheduled to be shown at New York Fashion Week on Thursday afternoon.

Re: Alexander McQueen Found Dead
According to another source..he commited suicide..
British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has died, his company has said.
McQueen, 40, was found dead at his London home on Thursday morning (February 11). UK’s Daily Mail is reporting that McQueen committed suicide as he was found hanging in his apartment in the Green Park area.
A statement from his office was released: “It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.”
This is a big blow to the fashion community as he truly was a revolutionary designer. Is it a coincidence that this happened at the start of NY Fashion Week? He was also set to show his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.
Our deepest condolences go out to McQueen’s family and friends.
