Former Miss USA winner and “Extra” correspondent Cheslie Kryst has died in a suspected suicide in Manhattan on Sunday. She was 30.

Police sources tell The New York Post that Kryst jumped from the 60-story Orion building, where she has a residence on the ninth floor, early Sunday morning and was found dead in the street below. She was last seen on a terrace on the building’s 29th floor. TheWrap has reached out to NYFD and NYPD for comment.

Kryst won the Miss USA pageant three years ago as a representative for North Carolina, later placing in the top 10 at the Miss Universe pageant.
