(PARIS) — The body of Katoucha Niane, one of the first African women to attain international stardom as a model and a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation, was found in the Seine River, police said Friday.

An autopsy showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that the 47-year-old may have fallen accidentally into the river, they said. She had been missing since January and was last seen returning home from a party.

I don't find it a coincidence that it's also Paris Fashion Week. A huge deal in the fashion world. It may be sending out a message to other elite activists that their attention to some issues is not cared for. I read about this yesterday in some fashioin blog and they didn't mention that she was an activist. Then I read this today and the circumstances seem to allude to a larger scheme.
