Model Ruslana Korshunova suicide linked to her visit at Jeffrey Epstein's island

Model Ruslana Korshunova who jumped to her death from a New York City at age 20 in 2008 apartment has been linked to a distressing chapter in her past as startling documents reveal that she had flown on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet during her teenage years.

According to the reports, the flight records of the now-deceased convicted sex offender revealed that the Kazakhstani-Russian model was among the passengers on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Boeing 727, commonly known as the "Lolita Express," on June 7, 2006.

Korshunova travelled alongside Epstein and three staff members—bodyguard Igor Zinoviev, personal chef Lance Calloway, and longtime assistant Sarah Kellen.

While the details of their activities upon landing on Epstein's controversial island in Little St. James remain unclear, the convicted sex offender has faced allegations of hosting underage sex gatherings for influential acquaintances there.

The report stated that the legal papers acquired by Page Six contain an email sent by attorney Brad Edwards to Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, “I think it is a long shot that you would recognize her, but read the article I attached and then look at the pictures and see if you recognize her. I will call you tomorrow.”

He shared a Newsweek article from May 1, 2011, reporting on the unfortunate demise of Korshunova.

The article highlighted that the model leapt from a Wall Street building, falling more than 27 feet, during a midday incident on a Saturday.

“Ruslana seemed to have everything. Why this dismal end?” the published article inquired, and the journalist later mentioned that they had discovered, “more deaths among Ruslana’s friends, more attempted suicides, until ultimately I arrived at the most unlikely of destinations in the former evil empire.”

A significant aspect of the article, likely drawing Edwards' interest due to his close collaboration with other Epstein accusers, highlighted that the “Ruslana from the world of wannabes to the best parties in New York, trips to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, to Moscow where the Russian mega-rich were keen to meet the beauty from the ad, and where she fell blissfully, childishly in love with one of the handsomest tycoons in town.”

Giuffre responded to the lawyer’s email, by penning, “I am so sorry to hear the news of Ruslana, and my condolences are with her family and friends. I can say that I have never had any meetings with her, sorry not to be of any help there.”

However, authorities officially ruled Korshunova's death as a suicide, leaving her family members perplexed about the circumstances surrounding her passing.

The court documents, recently unsealed following an order by Judge Loretta Preska in a settled defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's alleged madam, also disclose the A-listers associated with Epstein.
