Daily Mail Reporters

The first pictures have emerged showing a devastated Mick Jagger just moments after he learned of the tragic death of his longtime love L’Wren Scott.

His face etched with grief, the Rolling Stone frontman looked in utter shock Monday night as he left Coco’s restaurant in Perth, Western Australia, where the band is scheduled to begin its first tour Down Under in eight years on Wednesday.

Just hours earlier, Jagger, 70, had posted a smiling photo of himself enjoying the beach in the sunny city, and the Stones had posed in front of their private jet looking thrilled to be back in the country.

But the excitement was short-lived. Jagger is seen in the exclusive pictures looking pale and shaken as he emerges from the upscale restaurant and gets into a waiting car before being driven away.

Scott’s body was discovered in her Manhattan apartment around 10a.m. Monday, which is 10p.m. Monday in Perth where local time is currently 12 hours ahead of U.S. ET.

Soon after leaving the restaurant, Jagger said through a spokesman that he was ‘completely shocked and devastated’ after hearing the news and replied ‘of course’ when asked if the pair were still in a relationship when she took her life.

It’s expected the band will cancel the tour on account of the fashion designer’s death.

Scott, 49, was found by her assistant

early Monday after hanging herself. There was no immediate suspicion of

foul play though the Medical Examiner has not yet released the formal

report.

It has since been revealed that the former model was in serious debt and was distraught and ‘embarrassed’ over her failing business.

A New York City Police Department said Monday: ‘A 49-year-old female was found this morning at 10.05am at 200 11th Avenue. She was unconscious.

‘She was pronounced dead on arrival by the emergency medical services. The investigation is ongoing. We are awaiting medical examiners to determine the cause of death.’

The coroner left the building with her body at 2.45p.m. and police were also seen taking her computer out of the building, likely for further investigation.

Her spokesperson confirmed the ‘tragic

death’ without giving any further details about the motivations or

whether or not she had left a note behind for loved ones.

‘At this devastating time for Ms Scott’s family and friends we request that their privacy be respected,’ the spokesperson said.

The New York Post reports that close friends- including actress Ellen Barkin- went to spend time with her body in her apartment before the medical examiner took it away for examination at 2.45pm.

One said that she had been avoiding their calls and acting strangely of late.

‘They’ve known that something was going on, and it’s been going on for at least a week,’ a friend told the paper.

Her suicide comes after the striking stylist was forced to cancel her London Fashion Week show at the last minute in January, which she blamed on fabrics that arrived too late for samples to be sewn in time for the event.

MailOnline revealed earlier Monday that the 6ft 3ins tall brunette – who had always refused financial help from Mick Jagger – was hemorrhaging cash and owed nearly $6million to creditors.

The latest accounts for her business, filed in the UK in October 2013, show that the company, LS Fashion LTD, had a deficit of $5,899,548 (4,237,164 Euros), with the designer owing creditors $7.641 million (euros 5,488,125)

However, in recent years, her company’s debts had doubled year-on-year – a downward spiral that showed no sign of stopping. In 2009, the debt stood at $2,120,015.67, and by 2010 it had grown to $3,063,160.87

The issues surrounding her company, which was incorporated in July 2006, are the real reason she called off her show, a source said, as she could not even afford to put on the fashion show.

Records show that Scott’s apartment was bought for $5.6million in 2010 by a holding company called Scottland Management. A 2012 mortgage for $1.25million was paid off last year.

In October last year, it appeared as though L’Wren was trying to stem the financial chaos after she appointed her adopted brother, Randall Ivan Bambrough – who still lives in her home state of Utah – as a director to her company.
