Alexander McQueen’s death last Thursday has been confirmed as a suicide. According to the coroner’s report, the provocative fashion designer died of “asphyxiation and hanging,” and was found hanging in his wardrobe in his London apartment the day before his mother’s funeral. Lady Gaga continued to pay tribute to her collaborator and friend at The BRIT Awards last night by dedicating her performance to McQueen and personally thanking him while accepting her award for Best International Breakthrough Act.
