Model Jeremy Ruehlemann has breathed his last at the age of 27.

According to Sky News, the late model worked with top brands such as Superdry and Ralph Lauren and frequently appeared in fashion shoots worldwide.

Ruehlemann's agent, Jason Kanner, from Soul Artist Management, announced his death, "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jeremy Ruehlemann has passed away. Jeremy was authentically himself. Salt of the earth. There was just something about him that made you root for him.

"His excitement over a big booking... his optimism when something didn't work out. When you spoke to him, he listened with his eyes and ears. He truly was and will always be one of a kind. Jeremy, you will be missed."

Designer Christian Siriano wrote, "I have never posted anything like this but to lose a friend who was such a beautiful soul is just really hard.

"This is for Jeremy, the most beautiful man that gave so much love to everyone he met no matter what. He was one of my muses, and he always will be.

"He inspired me, and I will love him forever. I'm sending all my love to his family and friends who lost someone so special.

"I know we will meet again one day, but right now I just want to hug him.

"Rest well J we all love you so much! Send love to his family today please."
