Domino is dead - Truth is stranger than fiction
>>Model-Turned-Bounty Hunter Domino Found Dead in Bath

Domino Harvey

Former supermodel-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey was found dead in a bathtub in her West Hollywood home on Monday night. She was 35. The daughter of late English actor Laurence Harvey - who starred in the original 1962 The Manchurian Candidate - and model Paulene Stone, was facing a possible life jail sentence over drug charges filed last year. Domino quit modeling 12 years ago to capture fugitives and criminals who had jumped bail.

Police Lieutenant Don Mauldin says, "We got a call at 10:30 last night, saying that possibly a person had drowned in a bathtub. A friend or relative had called 911 from the house for paramedics. She was found in the bathtub." Mauldin denied rumors a gun was involved in the demise, saying, "If it was a gunshot wound or a suicide, then we would have sent investigators to the scene - that did not happen." The Los Angeles coroner is set to perform toxicology tests to see if drugs were involved. Domino's life story has recently been the subject of Keira Knightley's new movie Domino, which is scheduled to hit cinema screens in the UK in August, although it may now be delayed to incorporate the former model's death into the storyline.

Lesbian bounty hunter Domino Harvey is upset moviemakers made her straight


Keira Knightley as Domino
How bad can it be when Hollywood chooses Keira Knightley, pictured, to portray you in a story inspired by your life? Well, model-turned-bounty-hunter Domino Harvey is unamused by the fact that in the movie, all of a sudden she's heterosexual. Harvey, a lesbian, "sees it as an insult that the producers are selling it as her life story, when they are completely overlooking what she regards as a pretty basic part of her life," a source says. "... She thinks it's ironic that so much of the publicity the film has attracted has been based on it's raunchy sex scenes."<<
