Australian model Annalise Braakensiek, 46, found dead

Annalise Braakensiek, a high-profile model and actress in Australia, has died at the age of 46.

Authorities found her body in her apartment on Sunday, January 6, after those close to her were concerned about her wellbeing, though police said her death is not currently considered to be suspicious.

Braakensiek, who was discovered by a photographer on Bondi Beach in Sydney at the age of 16, had long been open about her struggle with mental health and worked as an ambassador for the suicide prevention organization, R U OK?.

As recently as December, the model opened up about her personal struggles, calling 2018 "a challenging year"

In November, she penned a heartfelt post about the "dark clouds" that she often found herself under as she continued to work through her battles with personal demons.

"Mental health has so so many misconceptions, criticism, misunderstandings and false judgments still!! We have to break the silence on mental health because it happens to the best of us," she wrote. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have helped me though my dark clouds.... now I’m strong enough to help my loved ones who unfortunately are not in the best place right now. But we will get through this! I love you and am your rock."

Braakensiek appeared on television shows like "Home & Away," "Heartbreak High" and "Pizza." As a model, she worked with brands like Nivea, La Perla, Levi's and Toyota, among others.

Her death comes less than a year after she split from stockbroker Danny Goldberg, who she had been married to for 16 years, in April of 2018.
