THE death of former Miss USA, Cheslie Kryst was announced on January 30, 2022, and her final Instagram post before her death has been revealed.
Kryst was pronounced dead after falling from her high-rise apartment in New York City in what police believe to be a suicide.
Kryst shared a photo of herself on Instagram just hours before her death with the caption, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”
Kryst, 30, took home the crown in the Miss USA pageant as Miss North Carolina in 2019.
She used her platform as Miss USA to speak about criminal justice reform.
SUICIDE is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Leading Causes of Death Report from 2018.
There were “more than two and half times as many suicides” in the US than there were homicides, according to the report.
For people ages 10 and 34, suicide was the “second leading cause of death” and the fourth for individuals ages 35 to 54.
Suicide is a vital health concern in the U.S. It affects all genders, races and ages.
