Breaking News: Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen Has Died

Fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead at his London home today, officials have reported.

Details of McQueen's death were not released to the media. However, it was reported that he was devastated over the recent death of his mother. His website currently shows the following statement:

"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. 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."

McQueen's death comes on the same day that one of his latest lines, McQ, was scheduled to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC. 

Truly a legend in the industry, Alexander McQueen will be missed in the fashion world and beyond.
