Brooke Gomez was found dead in her NYC apartment on Sunday
Bethenny Frankel’s interior designer Brooke Gomez has died at the age of 49 on November 19, 2023.
As reported by Daily Mail, the interior designer’s dead body was found decomposing in her apartment near East 94th Street and Madison Avenue.
Brooke Gomez’s official social media account shared a lengthy note for the late designer.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Brooke penned, “We are greatly saddened by the sudden passing of our friend Brooke Gomez, a light that shined brilliantly on everyone who knew her. A gathering of friends to celebrate her life is being planned. Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.”
A spokesperson for the New York City Police Deputy Commissioner of Public Information told E! News about the incident, “When police arrived they observed a 49-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive inside of an apartment.” She "was pronounced deceased” after efforts were made to revive her.”
Bethenny has joined forces with Brooke on numerous design projects. In 2010, she even appeared on the second season of Bethenny's Real Housewives spinoff series Bethenny Ever After.
Brooke told Business of Home in 2019 after launching her own firm, “Someone left really suddenly, so I decided to help out in the interim. But I really just loved it. I loved the right brain/left brain contrast of creating a contract and then getting to do something creative.”
She then talked about her mother, “For her—as someone who invested all her time, energy and talent into this for 40-plus years—it was time for her to explore other interests. For me, right now it's about building my own team, finding new people that I want to work with and making this firm my own. And it's nice to know that my sweet, talented mother is always just a phone call away.”
Some of the renowned clients Brooke has worked with include Bethenny Frankel, Michael J. Fox and Sigourney Weaver.
