Kasia Lenhardt was the Polish model ex-girlfriend of world-famous German soccer star Jérôme Boateng who died suddenly at the age of 25.

German-language publication Bild reported that Lenhardt died on February 9, 2021, leaving behind a son. She was famous in Germany for participating in “Germany’s Next Top Model,” a television program hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum. According to Bild, Lenhardt placed fourth in the show’s seventh season.

Although the cause of death was not formally announced, police in Berlin, Germany, suspect it was suicide, Bild reported.

Lenhardt’s last Instagram post came on February 3, just a day after she and Boateng broke up following a 15-month relationship that ended with “a vicious fight that saw the couple exchange blows via social media and the press,” Daily Mail reported. “Now is where you draw the line. Enough,” she said, echoing comments the soccer star made when he revealed they were no longer dating.

Model Sara Kulka wrote in a tribute on Instagram, “I hope the truth comes out. I know how much you wished it would.”
