KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Cheslie Kryst, 30, apparently jumped from an apartment building in Manhattan and died immediately upon impact. She was confirmed dead by her family.

  • Police said Cheslie Kryst, 30, died after jumping from a building in Manhattan.
  • “May this day bring you rest and peace” was Cheslie Kryst’s last words before she died.

She was a correspondent for the entertainment news show Extra and the winner of the Miss USA pageant for 2019. She was 30 years old.

“In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie. Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength,” her family said.

“Cheslie embodied love and served others, whether through her work as an attorney fighting for social justice, as Miss USA and as a host on EXTRA. But most importantly, as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor and colleague – we know her impact will live on,” her family said.

Cheslie Kryst, the former Miss USA winner, posted a photo of herself on Instagram just before she died, writing, “May this day bring you rest and peace.”

Such incredibly sad news about #CheslieKryst

Depression creates deep despair & an overwhelming illusion that there’s no way forward in life

Remember: looking good & doing good things doesn’t = feeling/thinking “good”
