Photos: Fashion designer Kate Spade found hanged in her home, leaves a tragic suicide note

Yesterday morning, Fashion designer Kate Spade, 55, was found hanged at her Park Avenue home.

Next to her body, was a heartbreaking suicide note addressed to her 13-year-old daughter Frances 'Bea' Beatrix, her only child, telling her she'd always loved her and not to feel guilty over her mother's death. The note read, according to TMZ:
'Bea - I have always loved you. This is not your fault. Ask Daddy!'

Relatives say her death comes after a long battle with mental illness. Her sister Reta Saffo told the DailyMail.com that she believes Spade had bipolar disorder which was made worse by her celebrity status after her brand took off. However, a source told People that 'Kate and Andy were having relationship problems' and that he had been shopping for a new one or two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, although other sources say they were working closely together on her new brand Frances Valentine, a line of luxury handbags and shoes.

Fashion designer Kate Spade may have committed suicide because her hubby asked for a divorce.
