Kristen Taylor was rich and popular, she received everything she wanted. Fame came to her suddenly, but could not spoil the character and attitude to the life of a young beauty. Unfortunately, on July 2, 1995, the life of the young model was tragically cut short.
Chrissy Taylor, whose biography, although short, but quite rich, was born on May 15, 1978 in sunny Miami. Her mother worked as a photographer, and her father was an assistant to the sheriff. She had two older sisters. It was one of them, Nikki Taylor, that became the admission ticket for her sister to the fashion world. When Chrissy was only 11 years old, she began to attend photo shoots with Nikki. Photographers liked the younger sister of the model, who had a beautiful and vibrant appearance, and they began to include her in the sister's photo shoot.
The beginning of a modeling career
It is worth noting that even then Kristen Taylor looked much older than her true age, which played into her hands. The gorgeous figure and expressive facial features made the girl’s photos simply inimitable.
Soon the girl had a personal portfolio. The first joint work of Chrissy and Nikki was published in the famous youth magazine Seventin. Soon after, Kristen began to collaborate with the modeling agency of her older sister - IMG in New York.
When 13 years old, the youngest of the sisters, they attended the autumn fashion show in Milan. Chrissy conquered designers with her beauty and photogenicity. After this job offer fell on a young girl from all sides.

The girl was distinguished by a special industriousness and was responsible for her duties. She worked eight shows at the spring collection show in 1994. Among them, everyone especially remembered the collection from Ralph Lauren.
One of Chrissy’s latest works was her joint photo shoot with Nikki for the August magazine Ocean Drive.
Hobbies of the model
In addition to an outstanding career, Christie led a normal lifestyle, like all teenagers. She loved dancing, singing, sunbathing on the beach, skating and skiing. She was very fond of animals and performing in a support group.
Despite the dizzying success, the girl dreamed of graduating from high school and continuing her education at the university. Working as a model was not the meaning of her life. Kristen was a very domestic person. Many noted that she was embarrassed to be photographed alone, but with pleasure posed next to her sister.
Many mistakenly believed that there was serious competition between the sisters. But that was not so. The family ties were very strong between the three sisters, not to mention Nikki and Chrissy, who spent most of their time together and supported each other. Everyone loved Chrissy Taylor. Photos from the family from an early period of the model's life are saturated with love and care. It was in such an atmosphere that the future star grew.
Death of a modeling business star
In early July 1995, Nikki found Kristen unconscious at their parents' house in Florida. Attempts to bring the girl to life on her own were unsuccessful, and she was promptly taken to the nearest hospital - Memorial Hospital West. At 5.39 in the morning on July 2, doctors stated death.
Chrissy Taylor had problems with the respiratory system, in particular, she suffered from asthma and allergies, and therefore she used inhalers. The model used the Primatine brand inhaler, which could be purchased without a prescription at any pharmacy. This inhaler contained epinephrine, which can cause arrhythmia. However, doctors could not find out if the girl used the inhaler before fainting.
Cause of death of a young model
Be that as it may, at the age of seventeen Chrissy Taylor dies. The cause of death is indicated as an acute asthma attack amplified by cardiac arrhythmia. Although before that, Kristen had no problems with cardiac activity.
The Taylor family was not satisfied with the conclusion of the doctors, announced after a medical examination, so it was decided to turn to independent experts. The latter studied the tissue of the heart muscle of Chrissy Taylor and came to the conclusion that Nikki's younger sister had a rare disease, the full name of which is arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle. Such an ailment increases the risk of sudden death.
