Former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst jumped to her death from the 29th floor of a 60-story high-rise building in New York City, the NY Post reported.
She was only 30 years old.
Kryst, a lawyer and 2019 Miss USA pageant winner, wrote a cryptic Instagram post shortly before leaping to her death Sunday morning.
“May this day bring you rest and peace.” – Cheslie Kryst wrote just hours before she took her own life.
According to The New York Post, Cheslie Kryst left a note saying she wanted to leave everything to her mom.
The New York Post reported:
The woman who leaped to her death from a Midtown high-rise Sunday was former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The 2019 pageant winner and 30-year-old lawyer jumped from the 60-story Orion building at 350 W. 42nd St. around 7:15 a.m. and was found dead in the street below, sources said.
Kryst, who lived on the ninth floor of the building, was alone when she jumped and was last seen on a 29th-floor terrace, sources said.
She left behind a note saying she wanted to leave everything to her mother, sources said. The note didn’t include a motive for her actions, sources said.
“Not only beautiful but she was smart — she was a lawyer,” a police source said. “She has a life that anyone would be jealous of. … It’s so sad.”
Editor’s note: This post was updated to correct that Cheslie Kryst leaped from the 29th floor, not the 9th floor of the building.
