The prosecutor's spokeswoman told Reuters that police were investigating the cause, saying it was most likely suicide.
"She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next," her agency said in a brief statement. "Please respect her family's privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much."
Daul modeled for top designers including Chanel, Dries Van Noten and Alexander McQueen, and was seen walking in September's Spring 2010 shows. She also recently appeared in a Christopher Kane for Topshop commercial.
The 5-foot-10 model was a painter, filmmaker and had a blog called I Like to Fork Myself. Her final entry, dated Nov. 11, was titled "say hi to forever," and featured a YouTube video of the song "I Go Deep" by Jim Rivers.
Here is a video diary Kim made for New York magazine during Fashion Week.

This is deeply saddening. Daul's death is a huge loss to the entire fashion world. She will truly be missed.
