The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to People Magazine on Tuesday, February 1 that the Miss USA 2019 winner died by suicide, based on her official autopsy.
This document also said that the beauty queen suffered multiple blunt impact injuries after leaping from a 60-story building in New York City.

“In devastation and great sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved Cheslie,” her family said in a statement to Extra this week.
“Her great light was one that inspired others around the world with her beauty and strength.
“She cared, she loved, she laughed and she shined.”
