12. Alexander McQueen – Age 40
The world renowned British fashion designer took his life in 2010 a little over a week after he lost his mother, Joyce, to cancer. His suicide is quite well known as the designer went out in style, ingesting a cocktail of cocaine, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers and hanging himself by his favorite belt. Although apparently the designer had originally planned to shoot himself on the runway during one of his live catwalk shows. McQueen’s legacy still lives on today through his fashion and influence in the industry.
