(CNN) -- L'Wren Scott, a noted fashion designer who has been Mick Jagger's companion for more than a decade, was found dead in her New York apartment Monday of an apparent suicide, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation. She was 49.

Scott's assistant found the designer hanging from a door knob with a scarf around her neck, the official said.

There were no signs of forced entry, and police did not find a suicide note, the official said.

Her assistant told police Scott sent a text Monday morning asking the assistant to "come by, and when the assistant arrived at approximately 10:02 a.m., Scott was dead in the living room, prompting the assistant to call police," according to the official.

The New York Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death, according to Sgt. Nieves with the New York Police Department.

A spokesman for Mick Jagger said that the singer was completely shocked and devastated by the news.

There's nothing wrong with that, i feel sorry for both of them. Always tragic when someone is in such a state of mind to take their own life. Commenting about age difference when you are here is a bit hypocritical isn't it? How old are you? more to the point .........how old is your g/f?

Not so, according to the Independent newspaper.

L’Wren Scott has left her entire £5.5 million estate to her boyfriend, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.Reports are still suggesting that her fashion company was in debt, although the speculation was dismissed by representatives of Scott last week.
