The 25-year-old Polish model was found dead at a luxury
apartment thought to belong to Boateng in Berlin's upmarket Charlottenborg
neighbourhood on Tuesday night by police who say the death is not being treated
as suspicious.
Speaking about Lenhardt's death, a friend told MailOnline:
'Yesterday was her son Noah's birthday. Kasia was at home on her own. A member
of her family called the police because they could not get hold of her and they
were worried. She died a week after Jerome gave an interview in which he said
their relationship was over. He said some really nasty things about Kasia. She
was very upset by it.'
Lenhardt had been dating 32-year-old Boateng for 15 months
before their relationship crashed on February 2 amid bitter accusations of
blackmail and infidelity. German news outlet Bild revealed that Kasia had been
involved in a car accident in the footballer's Mini on January 5, resulting in
the vehicle being a write-off.
Shortly after the crash, Boateng publicly ended his
relationship with Kasia on Instagram. He wrote: "As is known from the
media, I ended the relationship with Kasia Lenhardt. We will go our separate
ways from now on. That is regrettable, but for my family and for me it is the
only right one.
"I had to take this step and draw a line. I apologise
to everyone I've hurt especially with my ex-girlfriend Rebecca and our
children. I am disappointed in myself too. A man has to take responsibility and
act in the interests of his family and I'm doing it now. I wish Kasia all the
best. Jerome Boateng."
Kasia responded by saying she had ended the relationship
because of the World Cup winner's "lies and constant infidelity". She
also branded Boateng 'the devil' and vowed to 'speak up' and 'fight back' once
she had recovered from the break-up.
'I will definitely speak up, but I have to collect myself. Please give me time. I will fight back! Because I've never been so deceived, used, and lied to. Give me a moment,' she wrote.
