The fashion maven, 55, was found just after 10 a.m. on June 5 hanging with a scarf around her neck in the family's New York City home.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Kate left behind a note for her husband, Andy, 55, and their 13-year-old girl, Frances, who was at school when her mom took her own life.

“She didn’t say why she did it,” a police source said of Kate's final message.

However, she reportedly told her daughter not to blame herself for the suicide.

If you or someone you know is in an emotional distress or suicidal, please call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
