Former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst’s mother says she hid ‘high functioning depression’
Former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst’s mother is speaking out after her daughter committed suicide, saying she had “never known a pain as deep as this. I am forever changed.”
April Simpkins shared a statement with “Extra” where Kryst had worked as an entertainment correspondent. The 30-year-old attorney passed away after jumping from a building in New York City, according to police CNN reported. The New York City Medical Examiner has confirmed her death was by suicide.
Kryst’s mother told “Extra” that, “Cheslie led both a public and a private life. In her private life, she was dealing with high-functioning depression which she hid from everyone — including me, her closest confidant — until very shortly before her death.”
“While her life on this earth was short, it was filled with many beautiful memories. We miss her laugh, her words of wisdom, her sense of humor, and mostly her hugs. We miss all of it — we miss all of her,” the statement went on to read. “She was a vital part of our family which makes this loss even more devastating.”
