Tragedy struck when Paulina Lerch, a former contestant on Poland’s Top Model, was found dead in her luxury home near Poznan City. The 33-year-old reality TV star was reportedly shot by her husband, Sławomir, who then took his own life.
According to reports, police discovered the bodies on September 1, after Lerch’s family had not heard from her for over a week. The home was locked from the inside, and a revolver was found next to the couple.
Sławomir, 47, had a troubled past. He was previously arrested for drug trafficking and had been released from custody just a month before the incident. The couple had kept their marriage private, making the situation even more shocking.
The exact circumstances of the deaths remain unclear. Authorities are investigating whether this was a murder-suicide or if there was a suicide pact involved. The case is still under investigation as the public and Lerch’s family seek answers.
