Kate Spade battled “depression and anxiety” for most of her life according to her sister, but husband Andy Spade strongly denied that a divorce was the trigger for her suicide. Her death raises red flags about the need for better treatment of mental illness. The fashion designer was found dead in her New York City apartment earlier this week. She was 55.
