Kasia Lenhardt, a model who has been dating Bayern Munich player Jerome Boateng, has been found dead just a week after the couple split.
The 25-year-old was found dead in her apartment by the Berlin Police. Police are however not calling her death suspicious. The death comes just days after Boateng,32, released an official statement saying they are no longer together.
The Polish-born model shot to fame on TV show Germany’s Next Top Model in 2012.
The two had dated for 15 months.

In his statement, Jerome said it was time to “draw a line” and “apologise to everyone I’ve hurt” including his ex-girlfriend Rebecca and their children.
Kasia on the other hand responded by saying she had ended the relationship because of the World Cup winner’s “lies and constant infidelity”. She also went on to call the footballer a devil and promised to speak up on a lot of other issues that strained their relationship.
Boateng accused Kasia of destroying his previous relationship and blackmailing him.
“Kasia became my girlfriend by destroying the relationship with my ex-girlfriend Rebecca and my family and blackmailed me,” he said. “So I decided to stay with Kasia and try to make it work.”
The two were also involved in a grizzly road accident on Jan 5 that saw the footballer’s Mini written off. She was found to have booze in her blood after being taken to the hospital.
Kasia’s close friend took to social media to mourn her saying that she hopes the truth will finally come out.
“Rest in peace. You wonderful person, I miss you and would have loved to say goodbye,” she said.
“I hope you find your peace now and I hope the truth comes out now, I know how much you wished it would. I will never forget you, I don’t know anyone who could laugh like you. I send a lot of strength to the family.”
