In addition, Kazakh catwalker Ruslana Korshunova had lost a lot of weight in the last month and had trouble balancing her personal life and her demanding work schedule, her bewildered ex-boyfriend said yesterday.
"I think she just gave up," said Artem Perchenok, 24, who was with Korshunova on the last night of her short life.
The 5-foot-8 head-turner, who liked camping and fishing, kept her problems "bottled up," he said. "When a job would go bad, she'd take it out on herself."
But her latest beau, Mark Kaminsky, 32, of Staten Island - who said he talked with Ruslana hours before her suicide plunge - insisted the beauty was "liking what she did."
"She was a love for me," he said, noting the first time he saw her he gushed: "I'm in shock over your beauty."
To outsiders, it appeared the one-time Russian Vogue cover girl was living a charmed life.
She had a full schedule of high-profile modeling gigs in New York and had recently returned from Paris.
"She loved life," one Russian friend told The Post, while another, Maxim Ilin, said she "was the most cheerful and positive person I knew."
Perchenok speculated, "She was doing great [in her career]. Maybe she was overworked.
"It [her career] was taking off. She was busy, busy. When you're 20 years old and you travel the world, how can you complain? But . . . your family's back home and people are telling you what to do and how much to eat and how to walk."
The size-4 stunner appeared to have dropped some serious weight from her already thin frame and was complaining about a stomachache in the four or five days before her death.
