Friends and family became concerned when they hadn’t heard from Sydney model Annalise Braakensiek in a few days.
Sadly, when police arrived on Sunday afternoon they found the 46-year-old dead in her Potts Point apartment.
Police said her death was not suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
The jewellery designer and health influencer had lived with depression for years and in 2017 was an ambassador for RUOK? Day.
She told The Daily Edition at the time that she faced unfair scrutiny over her mental illness because of the job she worked, facing people’s assessment that her life was too glamorous for her to suffer depression.
“It was the … negative reaction people had to me being depressed and falling under the dark cloud.

High profile? Certainly not in Australia. I have never ever heard of her and no one else I asked, even 4 friends who read fashion/modelling mags, have ever even heard of her. Regardless I am always sad to hear people dying regardless of how.
