disparition de katoucha niane
Model Katoucha Niane was one of the first black supermodels to gain international notoriety in the 1980s and was the muse of Yves Saint Laurent.
Paris judicial police say the body of former top model Katoucha Niane has been found in the River Seine.

Police say the body was found Thursday and that a subsequent autopsy confirmed it as the model's.

Police say the body showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that she may have fallen accidentally in the river.

The former model went missing in January.

Jarrett Martineau, No sign of fowl play?  She was a activist against female Circumcision and upset many folks who practice this dangious and mutiliation.  I think she hadn't been seen since January
