Comprehensive US media reports that on the morning of January 30, local time, former "Miss America" Cheslie Kryst jumped from the upper floor of the apartment where she lived, and her family and New York police confirmed the news.

The NYPD, which is investigating the cause of his death, said Christ, 30, had died by jumping from a building in Manhattan. The New York City Chief Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to CNN that she had died by suicide with multiple blunt impact wounds on her body. Detective Martin Brown confirmed on the 31st that the NYPD will investigate the specific circumstances of Christer's death, but he declined to give more details.

Christer's family said in a statement, "In the midst of great sadness, we share the news of the death of our beloved Chesley. She has inspired others around the world with her radiance, with her beauty and strength. ”

Before his death, Cristal posted a photo on social media with the caption "May this day bring you rest and peace." The New York Post notes that she also wrote a heartbreaking article last year about the pressures of getting older, pursuing success and her struggles with those online who lash out at her for her appearance.

When she won the Miss Usa pageant in 2019, Cristal was 28 years old, the oldest of the tournament's previous winners. In that article last year, she said that after she won, some hardcore beauty pageants fans immediately petitioned to limit the age of participation. She also noted that she had won the contest with "5 feet 6 inches (about 1.68 meters) tall, 6 abs" and "a natural curly hair", and they thought the beauty pageant girls should be as tall and slender as models, with smooth hair and able to walk the stage.

Cristal wrote, "My challenge to the status quo certainly caught the attention of those internet trolls, and I don't know how many times I've deleted comments on my own social media pages that have vomiting expressions and insulting remarks that say I'm not pretty enough to be Miss America, or that I'm muscular and actually a 'man's body.'" She also wrote, "Society has never been kind to those who are getting older, especially women (with the occasional exception of some rich and a few celebrities). ”

At the end of the article, Christer writes that she celebrated her landmark birthday in her apartment, "wearing a black silk top, matching shorts, and a floor robe, eating banana pudding while sifting through birthday calls." "I even wore my pageant crown all day in my apartment because I knew I had to give it back at the end of my period as Miss America. I did what I wanted to do, not what others expected me to do. Now, I'm entering my 30th year of life, looking for joy and purpose in my own way – it feels like my own sweet triumph. ”

In addition to being a former Miss America, Christer is a lawyer who seeks to help reform the U.S. judicial system, providing free legal services to prisoners who may be subject to unjust sentences; she is also a fashion blogger and entertainment media reporter. (Editor: HHJ)
