Yesterday Mick took to Facebook to post a beautiful and touching tribute to his girlfriend.

"I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way" he wrote. "We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her."

L'Wren's body was found Monday morning in a Manhattan apartment. The apparent cause of death is suicide by hanging.
