Noémie appearing in an ad for The GAPFrom TimesOnline
Noémie Lenoir, the French model and face of Marks & Spencer, is recovering in hospital after attempting suicide, according to French police sources.
Lenoir, who has also starred in campaigns for L’Oréal, Next and Gap, was found unconscious on Sunday after taking drugs and alcohol at the home of Claude Makélélé, the France footballer and father of her son, 5, police and hospital sources said. It is not clear whether Makélélé was at the house.
The model, 30, called the rescue services from the property in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, an exclusive Paris suburb, but telephoned again to cancel her request for an ambulance.

She left the house on foot before collapsing in a nearby wood, where she was found by a passer-by, who called the emergency services.
Noémie is an amazing beauty and one of the worlds most successful models. I will be pulling for her and hoping that she gets the help that she needs and finds peace.

I also will say a prayer for her,just goes to show you money and fame isn't all we need in this thing called life.
I'm poor as a Church mouse but I feel happy and grateful for each and every day!
Wow. Look at those eyes....
Reminds me of the saying: The prettiest people do the ugliest things. can only wonder exactly what transpired to lead her to want to die.
Problems with her the father of her son, perhaps?

Well said, money and fame won't necessarily provide piece of mind.
@Don
There's no telling why she did it. She may simply suffer from undiagnosed depression. I just hope she gets help.
She is an incredibly beautiful woman.
@Reggie
Yep, stunning.
Just happened upon this entry, Val.
I see depth and some unspoken psadness inside her beautiful eyes.
Hope she's fully recovered & getting the help she needs.
Don't know of you're aware of it, but there has been a rash of successful suicides amongst models (males & females) in 2010. Someone needs to be investigating the reason(s) why!
One.
@Lin
I wasn't aware there was a rash of model suicides. Wow. I'm planning to do a follow-up on Noémie as soon as I find info on how she's doing.
