Alexander McQueen’s Twitter stream has been deleted, but his missives cached on Google (and excerpted below) indicate that the 40-year-old designer was in a dark state of mind in the days leading up to his untimely death, including a Tweet on Feb. 3 in which he told his followers that his mother had died.

Fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 40, found dead in London home
PopWatch: Remembering Alexander McQueen: What was your favorite creation?
My heart goes out to him. I know the pain of losing a parent. Famous or otherwise, the pain is still the same.
This is disturbing. WHY THE HELL WOULD POST THIS UP. SHAME ON YOU EW…SHAME!
Why did he tweet this? It’s public record, so STFU!
This is really sad! Why didn’t someone help him??
Was he a pickle smoocher?
Poor Alexander, how distressed he must have been. a death affects us all so differently. What a great loss of a fashion genius. He is with his beloved MUM
Uh, don’t think he’s in the same place…committing suicide!!
It’s not your place at all to say where anybody goes upon dying. I hope with all my might that he has been reunited with his mom and believe wholeheartedly that the God i’m familar with put him exactly there.
Even the Catholic church has come out and said people who commit suicide have a mental illness and are not condemned to hell.
Get off of your holier-than-thou high horse.
you’re incredibly ignorant
So hateful.
AMAC, in two words:
ZEALOT DOUCHERY!
this is so tragic, cos easily anyone can note how mush suffering he must have been goin’ thru. to end a brilliant life like this. It’s simply sad, this could happen to anyone, why no one around him realized how down he was going? Rest in Peace Alexander, u r with ur mom now.
No, he is dead – his mom has nothing to do with anything. How do you know he’d even want to spend eternity with her? Good lord – I am so sick of people projecting their crap onto other people. He’s dead and you’re like, oh well, at least your with your mom now – like you even know.
nice nickname. suits your spirit.
Well said. My exact sentiments.
Crap spelling in his tweets.
yes, that is the most tragic part of this… the spelling….. douchebag.
Yeah man, he’s British for crying out loud!
I’m sure he could’ve cared less about the spelling. The man was in pain … get back to your shallow lives, haters.
In an interview with the Guardian he said his greatest fear was dying before his mother. At least they’re together again now.
All this rubbish about ‘being with his mother now’… are you three years old?
He’s not, he’s dead, like his mother, he’s in the ground.
Ok, so children need a made up story to cope with the pain of death, but when you’re an adult it’s time to grow up.
how rude are you to put down others for having a different belief system than you
Oh, Ridama, no. It’s not a child’s story, it’s a set of religious beliefs. God’s not just for three year olds. When you’re an adult it’s time to learn to accept and respect other people. Give it a shot.
Who?
Mr McQueen needed more time to deal with the death of his mother. He is obviously distressed and looking for a way to deal with it. A terrible time and a terrible decision. Gone too soon.
he did what is contrary to what his mother did -she gave him life, he took his life. were she alive, she would definitely not approve of his suicide. she gave him life so he could contribute to our world in a productive manner. how twisted his logic. depression can do that to you. so sad.
He was sensitive and creative they see and feel differently, that kind of loss was overwhelming to him
RIP
Even more tragic: Frisbee inventor Fred Morrison dies at 90
Weird coincidence.
Rule of threes! Someone check on Betty White.
Seriously though, sucks about Alexander McQueen.
You know you were wrong for posting that about Betty, and I know I’m wrong for laughing! It was a hilarious comment!
How strange is it now that 3 famous people has committed suicide (granted one is famous by association)?
Yeah, but that’s a rule for 3 famous people.
It was a 30 Rock reference.
Why are people just presuming he’s with his mother. I’d say he might be in hell, but I don’t think any afterlife exists. Just nice bedtime stories to make us feel better about death.
That’s incredibly sad!
My heart breaks for this man. I hope he & his mum have found peace.
