Top Czech Republic model, Katerina Netolicka, 26, who appeared as a cover girl for Prada, L’Oreal and Elle has been found dead in her bath was discovered dead inside the bathtub in the house she shared with with her 29-year old ice-hockey player boyfriend Jakub Petruzalek in Czech Republic over the weekend.
Two days after her birthday, Netolicka’s brother had reportedly set out to her house and broken the door after several calls to her phone were ignored for two days only to discover her dead together with two of her dogs in a bath.
According to Mirror UK, friends of the model, who began her modelling career in 2004 and was also known for kickboxing after winning the Czech Championships last month, say she was prone to depression.
One of her colleagues who lived with her in New York seven-years-ago while speaking on the grounds of anonymity said, “Sometimes she acted like two totally different people lived inside her.
“One minute she was very happy, almost ecstatic. Then sometimes she was depressed and used to self-harm.”
Also, another friend, Adrian Smrcka, said, “I really don’t know what could have happened.
“Maybe she got a spasm after kickbox training, or maybe it was a stroke.
“I know she had stopped self-harming and was very happy with her boyfriend.”
Confirming the incident, Police spokeswoman Lumila Svetlakova sad, “The body of young woman was found in Litvinov’s district of Hamr.
“The cause of death is at this moment unknown and we have requested an autopsy.”
