TOP model Jeff Thomas has died in a suspected suicide, according to reports.
The 35-year-old’s body was found at a Miami apartment last Wednesday, cops have said.

Thomas, from Miami, was a model and actor for the agency AMCK models, which is based in London. The firm has yet to comment on his death.
But, heartbreaking tributes have been paid on the influencer’s social media pages following his death.
Kris Haigh, the vice president of Men’s Design, “I met you many years ago in NY.
“You never failed to bring an upbeat energy every time I saw you.
“We never know what people are really going through. I will use this as a reminder to ask people how they are more even when they seem happy on the outside. RIP Jeff.”
Fashion writer Evan Ross Katz said he has been left “heartbroken” following Thomas’ death.
And, content creator Jeanine Amapola posted: “Absolutely heartbroken. Miss you already.”
Joe Carozza, of Republic Records, described Thomas’ smile as “infectious.”
He added: “Your infectious smile always brought so much joy to my life.”
Thomas was also the founder and director of the consulting agency One Popsicle.
He had a huge social media presence with over 120,000 followers on Instagram.
Last week, Thomas shared a series of snaps that showed him posing in Madrid, Spain.
And, he revealed that he had the word “resilience” inked onto his arm.
The U.S. Sun has approached AMCK models for comment.
