Cheslie Kryst, who won the Miss USA crown in 2019, is dead after a Sunday morning fall from her high-rise home in New York City ... TMZ has confirmed.
NYPD responded to a 911 call at 7:13 AM to Cheslie's midtown apartment building on 42nd Street. Officers and paramedics responded, but she was pronounced dead on the scene. Police are investigating, but they believe Cheslie -- who lived on the 9th floor -- jumped from high up in the building.
She was last seen on a 29th-floor terrace of the building ... according to the NY Post, which was first to report Cheslie's death.
Just a few hours before she died, Cheslie posted a photo of herself on Instagram with the caption, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
Kryst took home the top honors at the Miss USA pageant back in 2019 as Miss North Carolina. She was an attorney, and after winning the title, she also worked as a correspondent for Extra.
She used her Miss USA platform to speak out about social and criminal justice reform. She once joined us on "TMZ Live" to discuss that very topic.She reportedly left a note Sunday morning, stating she was leaving all her belongings to her mother. Her family released a statement saying, "Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength. She cared, she loved, she laughed and she shined."
The family added, "Most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague -- we know her impact will live on."
Cheslie was just 30 years old.
RIP
You can't really tell if a person is going through something unless they tell it, this is so sad
ReplyDeleteTrue. But a lot of times, people won't even believe you unless this happens
DeleteMy husband suffered from General anxiety last year maybe due to the stress brought about by the pandemic. Ang daming naubos na pera but thank God he is now healed pero grabe ang pagsubok. Mabuti nalang we are very close kaya napagtulungan naming labanan. Ang hirap intindihin talaga I never knew it was real til it happened to us. Nakakatakot at nakakapagod. Apektado lahat pati mga anak namin dahil para sya talagang ibang tao. Praying for everyone na may pinagdadaanan. Kailangan talaga ng suporta ng mga mahal sa buhay. Kamustahin po natin mga friends and loved ones natin.
DeleteHer last IG photo caption
ReplyDelete"May this day bring you rest and peace" - 30 letters, she's 30 years old, died January 30
May she rest in peace
omg
Delete12.08 di ba 31 letters?
DeleteJusmiyo. May nalalaman ka pang ganyan 12:08
Delete2:00 Te sinali mo ba yung heart emoji? Hehe
DeleteSi 12:08 maipasok lang mga kalokohan niya sa hindi niya naiintindihang significance ng numbers o numerology. Hehehehe
DeleteSad. I hope every one who is going through depression will seek help at once. I pray that their signifant others will be more tolerable, loving and will give peace to them. Prayers to all
ReplyDeleteLet us all be watchful of our loved ones, esp during this time of pandemic where many succumb to depression
ReplyDeleteUsually a depressed person are so good in hiding their depression. In america it’s very common to live alone and talking to your family everyday is a rarity, then the next thing you know, someone already committed suicide. Happened to my cousin in law after Xmas… he went to visits all family across the coast just like a normal visit. Then the next thing we know, he shot himself on the chest, left a note, then kaput!
DeleteWhat a way to die, free falling from a tall building! I dont understand, but I dont question her of what may be she is going thru. RIP
ReplyDeletesame
DeleteAng scary ng may post pa sa IG
ReplyDeleteYung iba nga may video pa ng actual suicide :(
DeleteSa mga down jan. Di maiiwasang malungkot o malumbay, bahagi ng buhay yun. Pero kahit nalulungkot tayo, wag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa. Once hope is gone, everything will falter. Talk to God. Naiintidihan Nya tayo at inaalala Nya rin tayo. Wag sana tayong mawalan ng pag-asa, pananampalataya at pag-ibig.
ReplyDeleteIt’s depression hindi malungkot lang. 2022 na, backwards pa rin ang tingin sa mental health.
DeleteIm sorry pero hindi lang basta “nalulungkot” ang cause ng depression. It’s a chemical imbalance sa brain that needs medication and professional help. Kailangan talaga ma educate ang mga tao about this, ang babaw ng “nalulungkot” lang ang tingen sa depression
DeleteAlam mo 12:38 mga katulad mo ang dahilan kung bakit mahirap magadjust ang mga tao, instead of educating people, may pa-insult pa sa dulo e, sorry ha kung hindi kami masyado nagdadive sa ganyan, iniiwasan kase namen para hindi namen masyado maisip, 2022 napaka-toxic mo pa din,not 12:24
DeleteTama na yang lungkot at God na yan, hindi yan ang depression. Kung malungkot ka lang at nawalanng kinausap mo si God it means hindi ka depressed
DeleteI don't care if you bash me but prayers don't work in this situation! DISEASE! SAKIT ! po ang depression! Pag meron ma nito iba na po ang way ng pag iisip mo, pag uugali mo at mga nararamdaman mo! May mga gamot na dapat ka i take!
Delete12:24 Let us also not force our beliefs on others. Hindi dasal ang kulang sa mga may depression o iba pang mental illness, kundi pang-unawa.
DeleteCourage, ang light to everyone.
1:09 maybe 12:38 is fed up with people thinking that depression is just 'malungkot'. Depression is a mental illness. It is NOT a question of faith nor it's just being sad. You can always opt not to comment on something you do not fully understand
Deleteanong rason bakit siya nag suicide? peer pressure? financial? love life? or feeling niya wala ba siyang goal sa buhay? wala kasing sinabing dahilan.
ReplyDeleteShe’s a lawyer. I don’t think it’s about goals in life. Maybe she just didn’t want to live anymore. I think andun yun sa suicide letter. Baka they’re not going public with the content. Whatever the reason was, I don’t think she wanted to be saved.
DeleteKailangan ba lahat ipaalam sa tao?
DeleteThis one right here reeks poor breeding. Nakakaawa.
DeleteEwan ko girl. Lawyer, matalino, may datung cguro kasi may pa last will at may work sya.
DeleteShe's a LAWYER, Beauty Queen, may job sya as a host, dami nyang friends
DeleteMarami tao super happy but deep inside may struggles pala, you will never know unless Sabihin nila sayo kaya mahirap ma detect
12:51 no need to be mean. Kaya nga we need celebrities to advocate for mental health para ma aware naman ang iba na wala talagang ka alam-alam. Before this, isa ako sa mga wala talagang ka alam-alam..
DeleteExactly. YOU HAVE NO MANNERS AND POOR BREEDING NAKAKADIRI
DeleteAno po cause ng death?
ReplyDelete12:31 - bagok? Tumalon daw sa building sabi sa article
DeleteNasa caption sis, suicide.
DeleteTe tumalon from 29th floor at bumagsak sa kalsada. Go figure.
DeleteHay jusko day
DeleteItong si 12:31 dumiretcho lang sa comments at di binasa yung article *facepalm*
DeleteTamad magbasa? Or hindi nakakaintindi ng english? Haha
DeleteTe tsismosa ka kaya tungkulin mong maging maalam at magresearch. Ano aasa ka lang samen ng wala kang ambag?
DeleteVery sad. Mahirap talaga labanan ang depression. She's already accomplished and reached her dream but her illness prevailed. May she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and brains, she’s a lawyer too. If you’ll look at her achievements and life perfect nya. Depression really kills. Kailangan na talaga pagtuunan ng pansin yung matter na ito. RIP
ReplyDeleteAng ironic lang nung last post nya. RIP
ReplyDeleteKaya nga, may this day bring rest and peace daw...Papaano?
DeleteStill shocked. She had a lot of potential as a host.
ReplyDeleteMental health is important. Dito sa Philippines nakakalungkot kasi yun mga may kaya lang nakaka push through sa pagpapagamot. Pag walang pera, hanggang a few months lang tapos bahala na. RiP Ms. Kryst I'm so sad with what happened to you. Sana yun government natin and yun mga HMO pwede na i-accept yun pagpapagamot sa psychiatrist. Lalo na nung nag pandemic ang daming tao who need help.
ReplyDelete3,000 pesos per session sa psychiatrist sa pinas
Delete700 to 1000 ang session sa psychiatrist, medyo mahal mahal talaga
DeleteAng babaw ng tingin ng mga tao na malungkot kaya nagpakamatay or may certain reason dapat. Kahit pa gano ka perfect ang tingen sa isang tao kung tatamaan sya ng depression kailangan nyan ng MEDICAL HELP. It’s not as if nalungkot lang tapos di na makayanan. No, depression is an ILLNESS.
ReplyDeleteOa naman girl. Kaya nga may hotline pag daw walang makausap di ba?
Delete1:39 that's not enough, mag research ka about depression, di yan nakukuha sa usap lang
Delete1:39 ang babaw nga ng tingin mo. OA pa ba yung daming namanatay sa depression? Kung di mo naiintindihan, keep your comments to yourself di yung mukha kang ignorante
Delete1:39 hindi OA yun, kulang ka lang sa pang-unawa. Sana hindi mo maranasan yan o ng magiging anak mo. Marites na maledukada.
DeleteI read her essay she wrote for Allure in 2021. It feels like she succumbed to the pressures eh. It's so so sad. She wrote about ageism. How society isn't kind to older women. She wrote about the pageants' standards of beauty and the criticisms she had to deal with as the "oldest" winner in history and as a black woman. I think all these are stressors that compounded over time and took a toll on her. It's so sad. Whenever I hear tragic stories like these, i wish the world hadn't created social media or news or unachievable high standards that we impose in our society :(
ReplyDeleteNakakaloka naman yung “oldest”. Bakit need pa nilang ihighlight sa kanya yun? Sa dami ng achievements nya, age talaga nakikita sa kanya 🤦🏻♀️
DeleteSad but true :(
DeleteCorrect. 👏🏼
DeleteKung di mo kaya ang ganun eh di wag ka mag social media!
DeleteAfter all, patibayan ng loob at sikmura nlang talaga... dedma sa mga bashers and all. Pero sakit din kasi ang depression, di naiiwasan... baka di na talaga nya kaya. May she rest in peace
Delete1:04 tsk tsk
Delete1:04 so judgmental, kaya may mga taong suicidal because of people like you
DeleteAng daming depressed dito sa America. I also went through it after I gave birth dito. It's not just a feeling of loneliness, it's something more deep than that. Yung parang ayaw mo ng gumising at masakit yung katawan mo coupled with mood swings and anxiety. You feel so hopeless. It pays to seek counseling and a support system. RIP Cheslie.
ReplyDeleteYep! A close friend of mine went through it after her divorce. She said you can’t really explain the feelings. She said all she wants is to sleep and stay in bed the whole day, she has no urge to get a shower whatsoever.
Delete2022 na yung iba dito hindi pa rin maintindihan ang depression. Its different from unhappiness lang. My mom suffered from depression and is taking meds for it. Side effect lang pinatay ng meds ang emotion nya so wala na syang feeling as in parang dead inside ba.
ReplyDeleteThose medications according to some studies are actually very dangerous, it numb your emotions and you go stale, you move like a zombie . The moment you withdraw from meds, brain will show more damage where patients become more unstable, suicidal if not end up killing others. A neuroscientist recommends slow decrease of dosage. Guys listen up. At first, it’s depression caused by life losses and it only take 6 weeks and a person chemical will change to a permanent mental case. .then you need meds. Shake it off while it is early. Laban sa buhay. We are all in this!
DeleteMeds help actually- been there. Had to go to a psychiatrist to treat me - she prescribed meds for me and it helped. Plus support from family. I’ve my share of challenges plus the death of my parents contributed to my depression and anxiety. It takes a while for meds to sink in.
DeleteI have depression. On and off for 30 years now. I resisted the meds kasi I was so scared of losing custody of my kid in case the meds don’t agree with me and made me an even worse basketcase, and I knew having doctors experimenting and/or adjusting would take months if not years—and yun na nga I could lose my child in the process.
DeleteI stumbled upon information about magnesium a few years ago. I’m not sure if it’s just placebo effect but I swear I feel better when I religiously take magnesium. It might not be a powerful as meds because I’m still lutang some days, but I am definitely better than circa 10 years ago, considering I’m now pre-menopausal pa! I also recently started having a more Buddhist philosophy. Philosophy lang—I don’t worship Buddha, I worship God pa rin. I think discovering the Buddhist philosophy is in fact God-sent.
I'm like your mom. Took meds for depression and insomnia tapos parang flatline na Ang emotions. Mas mahirap maging masaya pero mas madaling malungkot at umiyak. But it's a million times better than having depressive episodes.
DeleteDami cause ng depression meron sana paraan para maagapan ang suicide, kami meron physical na sakit gusto pa mabuhay.
ReplyDeleteI don’t want to invalidate her death and what she was going through but, it’s not also remiss to look at another angle for the cause of death, esp sa klase ng trabaho nya.
ReplyDeleteKaya stop bashing be kind be remorseful
ReplyDeleteNakakaloka ung comments ng iba. Try niyo evaluate sarili niyo baka isa kayo sa mga cause/trigger bakit na dedepress ang isang tao. Grabe mag salita, 2022 na pala eh. Bakit di niyo try maging mabuti? Free lang baka maka help ka pa. And lasty, 1 Peter 5:7 cast all your anxiety to Him because He cares for you. If naniniwala ung isa na si Lord and makakahelp sakanya at ang hope niya, RESPECT, We can educate without being feeling above that person.
ReplyDeleteEto talaga bumungad sakin yesterday pag-open ko ng youtube. Rest in peace. So young pa.
ReplyDeletesi queen pia naman drunk and ate her hair behind closed doors, when no one was watching... haist, how depressing!
ReplyDeleteRip cheslie 🙏
ReplyDeleteRip Cheslie. You were the prettiest Ms U judge last year. Beauty queen ka rin pala. Hay...
ReplyDeleteEXCUSE ME may pambato tayo Marian Rivera di ka aware??
DeletePakialamera ka 742? SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST FOR ME. 🙄 Paki ko dyan sa idolet mo.
DeleteSo sad. So, question lang: pano ba natin matutulungan ang mga depressed kung ang hindi natin alam na hindi lang pala lungkot yung pinapakita nila? If being there isn't enough? Pano pa? I'm honestly scared for my children bec of stories like this..
ReplyDelete1:17 I get you. May kahirapan. Dapat observant ka kung may naiiba sa mga routine nila or actions. Kamustahin mo rin sila lagi at maging mabait sa kahit kanino. Yung gut feeling din mars.
DeleteActually, mahirap na timplahin tao ngayon. When you comfort, may mga limitation kung ano lang pwede mong sabihin kasi baka minsan maging “toxic positivity” na. Basta, marami akong nababasa na pinapaiwas na sa’tin yung normal comfort natin before kasi mas makalala daw ng situation.
Deleterip po.
ReplyDeletei understand her.who wants to live in this cruel world? if not for my love to my daughter i also want to end my life. i just harden my heart to survive.
ReplyDelete10:06 Better see a shrink before its too late my dear FP classmate. Dont harbor your baggage alone, if you really love your daughter. Hugs to you😢
