Australian model Annalise Braakensiek was found dead in her inner-city Sydney home on Sunday, Dec. 6.
Police were contacted by close friends and family who had not heard from Braakensiek in several days, news.com.au reports.
There were no suspicious circumstances, police said.
Braakensiek and her husband, stockbroker Danny Goldberg, split in April after 16 years together.
She had bought the Potts Point apartment in Nov. 2017 following the separation.
Braakensiek fought a public battle with depression and became an ambassador for RUOK? Day in 2017.
At the time, she said in an interview with The Daily Edition: “It was the…negative reaction people had to me being depressed and falling under the dark cloud.”
“In many ways my life is wonderful, for which I’m extremely grateful and there’s no doubting that, but when you’re suffering these kinds of things for people to say how dare you, you’re a model, you’re a millionaire, you’re round the world.
“That’s got nothing to do with this.”
