Aussie model Annalise Braakensiek, 46, found dead in her Sydney apartment
Australian model Annalise Braakensiek has been found dead in her Sydney apartment.
Friends of the 46-year-old swimsuit model and lingerie designer reportedly became concerned when they had not heard from her in a few days.
Police rescue and ambulance later attended her Potts Point apartment where they found her body on Sunday afternoon.
There were no suspicious circumstances and a report will now be prepared for the coroner.
Braakensiek, who also ran an organic recipes line, had moved into the apartment last year following a split with her stockbroker husband, Danny Goldberg.
During an interview with the Daily Edition in 2017, she opened up on her battle with depression and role as an ambassador for RUOK? Day.
“It was the … negative reaction people had to me being depressed and falling under the dark cloud,” she said at the time.

Last month, she wrote on Instagram that she was “hanging in there by the hair on my chiny chin chin”.
“Sheesh it’s been a challenging year for so many of us, am I right?!?!
“I am uber grateful for all the legends who have taken me under their wings this past year, and into their hearts and homes.”
