The tragic passing of renowned makeup artist Jasen Kaplan has been officially classified as a suicide.

According to TMZ, Kaplan’s fatal injuries were described by authorities as “blunt impact injuries of the torso and extremities.”

Insiders shared with the outlet that these injuries appeared to align with a fall from a significant height.

The New York City medical examiner’s office has yet to provide a comment to Page Six, despite their request for further information.

It was earlier reported by Page Six that Kaplan passed away at a hospital in New York City on December 31st, just hours before the iconic Times Square ball drop. He was 46 years old.

Quickly, Hollywood began to mourn the devastating loss of the makeup artist who was known to work closely Bethenny Frankel, Tinsley Mortimer, Lydia Hearst and Kelly Osbourne.

“He was a great artist, and a sweet guy,” a longtime friend told us of Kaplan, “When people started working with him, they often stayed with him for years.”

“He really was important to a lot of people,” said one, “some of his clients had been with him more than 20 years. They’re going to take it very hard.”

Kaplan earned his claim to fame as an artist when he worked with Brittny and Lisa Gastineau on their 2005 show “Gastineau Girls.”

Along with Osbourne and Frankel, Kaplan was known as a go-to makeup artist for stars including Eva Longoria, Lynda Carter and Cyndi Lauper.

Kaplan also starred as a contestant on “Finding Prince Charming,” a gay, “Bachelor”-style dating show produced by Lance Bass for Logo in 2016.

Kaplan marks the second loss in connection with the “Finding Prince Charming” franchise. Another contestant, Chad Spodick, died last month, per People.
