ABOUT KATY FRENCH

One of Ireland's best-known models who tragically died due to cocaine use.

She signed on with the Assets Modeling Agency, and became a tabloid staple after her high-profile breakup with restauranteur Marcus Sweeney.

She collapsed at a friend's party and was taken to the hospital, where a medical examination revealed brain damage and traces of cocaine in her system.

She was born in Basel, Switzerland.

Eoin Macken was another well-known Irish model who fortunately did not encounter the same overdose that she did.
