Wrocław police confirmed her death and announced an investigation into the incident.

However, CCTV footage later placed her near a nearby pond, prompting WRS to begin searching the reservoir.

Organisers posted a tribute to the late model: “There are moments and emotions that are incredibly difficult to put into words.
“It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Jessica – a long time model at Wrocław Fashion Week.
“For years, she was a part of our history, bringing to the runway not only professionalism and talent, but above all, warmth, a smile, and a unique energy that we will remember forever.
“Today, our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
“Farewell, Jessica. Thank you for being part of our community.
“You will remain in our memories forever.”
Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death, although they have preliminarily ruled out the involvement of any third party.
It comes as the body of a Colombian model was found stuffed inside a suitcase at her rented apartment.
A British man, Matthew Forster-Smith, was arrested over her violent murder.
Natalia Villalba, 36, was found dead in an upmarket residential block in the Colombian capital on June 22.
Overnight, Colombian prosecutors claimed Forster-Smith had beaten his victim to death before trying to conceal his alleged horror crime.
He denies involvement in the alleged murder.
