The fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead, his company said.
His office confirmed to the BBC that Mr McQueen, 40, was discovered at his London home this morning.
The London Metropolitan Police said that his death was not being treated as suspicious. Unconfirmed reports have suggested that he took his own life.
A statement said his family were "devastated" at the "tragic news", and added that they shared "a sense of shock and grief".
In a message on his Twitter page on 3 February, McQueen said his mother had passed away.
McQueen won the distinction of being named British designer of the year four times between 1996 and 2003 and was also awarded the CBE.
In 1996, the man nicknamed "the hooligan of English fashion", with his close-cropped hair and Doc Martens, was named head designer at the Paris couture house of Givenchy.
McQueen's close friend and fashion icon Isabella Blow, who helped kick-start his career, killed herself in 2007.
