‘This has nothing to do with you. Don’t feel guilty. Ask your dad’: The tragic suicide note Kate Spade left for her 13-year-old daughter.
Fashion designer Kate Spade left behind a tragic note telling her teenage daughter not to blame herself for her suicide.
Spade, 55, was found hanged at her Park Avenue home on Tuesday morning.
Next to her body, was a heartbreaking suicide note addressed to her 13-year-old daughter Frances ‘Bea’ Beatrix, her only child, telling her she’d always loved her and not to feel guilty over her mother’s death.
The note read, according to TMZ: ‘Bea – I have always loved you. This is not your fault. Ask Daddy!’

The housekeeper who discovered Spade’s body reportedly ran downstairs to inform the building’s superintendent who rushed back to the apartment, cut the scarf around her neck and attempted CPR.
Spade was declared dead at the scene. It’s not clear how long she had been dead. The medical examiner will perform an autopsy.
In a statement, Spade’s family reportedly said they were ‘devastated by today’s tragedy.’
‘We loved Kate dearly and will miss her terribly,’ they said. ‘We would ask that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this very difficult time.’
A source close to the family described the moment Andy Spade picked up their daughter from school
‘Everyone was crying,’ a source told People.
The NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said that police are not treating Spade’s death as suspicious.
‘At this point, there was a note left. The contents of that note, as well as the physical state of the apartment and the comments of the witness, lend to the credibility that it is an apparent suicide,’ he said.
Relatives say her death comes after a long battle with mental illness. Her sister Reta Saffo said that she believes Spade had bipolar disorder which was made worse by her celebrity status after her brand took off.
However, a source told People that ‘Kate and Andy were having relationship problems’ and that he had been shopping for a new one or two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, although other sources say they were working closely together on her new brand Frances Valentine, a line of luxury handbags and shoes.
