Alexander McQueen was found dead at his home on Green Street, London W1, this morning where paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. A statement released by his office on 11 February 2010 - referring to the designer by his given first name, Lee, read: "On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, 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." McQueen's death came days before London Fashion Week, although McQueen was not scheduled to show in the British capital.
On 3 February 2010, he wrote on his Twitter page that his mother had died the day before, adding: "RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx." Four days later he wrote that he had had an "awful week" but said "friends have been great", adding: "now i have to some how pull myself together."
So tragic! Another genius/amazing person is gone. I always loved how quirky and fun McQueen managed to be on the runway and off. He was always a breath of fresh air around stuck up fashion types. He will be missed!
