5 terrible tragedies of Playboy models: from accidents to brutal murders

No one is immune from trouble. Even the beautiful and sexy Playboy models, whose success is the envy of many women, know what pain and disappointment are.

Below we will tell you the stories of five beauties who posed for the legendary magazine, whose lives ended tragically.

Jasmine Fior was a model posing in beachwear, and often took part in parties where her body was painted by body art artists. The girl also starred in commercials and appeared on various shows in Las Vegas casinos.

At one of the parties, the girl met her future husband Ryan Jenkins, a participant in several reality shows. Just a couple of days later, the lovers decided to get married — the wedding was played in Las Vegas.

But the relationship between Jasmine and Ryan was hardly ideal: they constantly quarreled, argued, and a few months after the marriage, the model filed a lawsuit against her husband, accusing him of beatings. A few months later, the lovers registered at the L'Auberge Hotel in San Diego, where Jasmine was last seen ... alive.

The dismembered body of the model was found in a suitcase in a trash can near the hotel. The killer prudently removed her fingers and teeth, but forgot about the breast implants — according to their serial number, it was possible to find out that the remains belong to Jasmine Fior. The only suspect in this case was the husband of the model Ryan Jenkins, who soon committed suicide.

In February 1977, Star Stowe became the Playboy girl of the month and got on the magazine's spread. At that time, she was at the height of her fame, hanging out with Elton John, Hugh Hefner, dating musician Gene Simmons.

Stowe later married Peter Maligo and gave birth to his son Michael. The family moved to Fort Lauderdale and found themselves in a difficult financial situation. Star tried to find a job performing exotic dances, but soon descended to prostitution, drug addiction and alcoholism.

In March 1997, the former model was found murdered. The woman's partially naked body was lying in the bushes. Since there was a serial killer hunting prostitutes in southwest Florida at that time, the police decided that it was he who dealt with Stowe. But in fact, her murder remained unsolved.

In the last years of her life, Anna Nicole Smith lived with her husband and son in the capital of the Bahamas — Nassau. Soon the son died of an overdose, and the couple had a daughter.

In February 2007, the model came down with something similar to the flu. The disease progressed, and after a while Anna Nicole became very ill. The husband of the beauty, who was away for a short time, was informed about the serious state of health of his wife, and when he returned, she had already died.

The doctors who arrived at the scene pronounced her dead from an overdose of at least nine prescribed analgesics and antidepressants. The autopsy showed that the model had an advanced form of pneumonia.

Jane Mansfield was once the main beauty of Broadway and Hollywood. The charming blonde was called a sex symbol of the 50s and was compared to such "icons" as Marilyn Monroe and Betty Page. The model has repeatedly appeared on the pages of erotic magazines, starred in various films and held her own show in Las Vegas.

Mansfield married three times and gave birth to five children, but even after pregnancy she remained in shape and continued to build a career.

The model's life ended tragically and suddenly: on June 29, 1967, she died in a car accident. At the time of the accident, Mansfield's husband, personal driver and three children were in the car. All the adults died that night, the children were seriously injured,but, fortunately, they survived.

Perhaps the saddest story is that of Dorothy Stratten. The girl was born in a poor family, graduated from school with honors, but instead of continuing her education, she went to work. Soon Dorothy was noticed by Playboy photographer Paul Snyder and invited her to shoot nude. So her career in the modeling business began.

After a while, Paul and Dorothy played a wedding, although everyone, including Hugh Hefner, urged the girl not to do it, they say, her husband is a pimp, and in general a person is not very good. The couple moved to Los Angeles, where Dorothy began acting for a magazine and working as a waitress at the Playboy club.

The pretty blonde began to gain popularity, soon she was interested even in Hollywood, offering a role in the film "They All laughed". On the set, feelings flared up between Stratten and director Peter Bogdanovich, and the woman wanted to break off relations with her legal spouse.

But Paul Snyder wasn't going to let her go so easily. At first, he followed her with the help of a private detective, then refused a divorce and, finally angry, shot her in the face, raped her body, after which he shot himself.
