It’s not surprising that the professionally beautiful can suffer from severe emotional dysfunction and debilitating mental health issues. With the incredible pressure of fame and the lack of a support network, as well as the assumption that their problems “don’t count,” models can become deeply affected by anxiety, and sometimes even suicidal depression.Sadly, a recent college campus tragedy has provided a chilling reminder of the emotional distress that models can find themselves under. A Maldivian model who featured on the cover of Vogue has reportedly killed herself at a dormitory hostel in Bangladesh. Please note that some may find the following details extremely upsetting.
Raudha Athif, a 21-year-old medical student studying at Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi, was found dead in her room in a Bangladeshi dormitory hostel on Wednesday. Alongside her studies, Athif was also a prominent model whose first major breakthrough came in 2014, via a picture entitled “Maldivian Girl With Aqua Blue Eyes.”The picture soon received significant attention online, and Athif was even praised by Mohamed Nasheed, the president of the Maldives, for her stunning good looks. Her body has since been recovered by police and has been sent to the Rajshahi Medical College Hospital for an autopsy.
Commenting on the incident, hostel superintendent Mahmuda Begum stated: “It is hard to believe she would commit suicide. I was in my chamber. Suddenly, I heard screams of my students. Rushing to the second floor of this six-story building, I saw some of the students trying to break the door of Athif’s room.” Once the door had been pried open, her roommates discovered the dead body immediately and called the emergency services.
