NEW YORK, March 23 — The funeral for fashion designer L’Wren Scott, who committed suicide last week in New York, will be held in Los Angeles, a representative for her boyfriend Mick Jagger said.

Scott, 49, was found dead in her high-rise apartment in Manhattan’s upscale Chelsea neighbourhood on Monday. The medical examiner’s office ruled that the former fashion model and stylist had committed suicide by hanging.

A spokeswoman for Jagger, lead singer for the Rolling Stones which postponed a world tour following Scott’s death, said late yesterday that Scott’s funeral would take place in Los Angeles, but could not give a date or a precise location. — Reuters
