PARIS, FRANCE May 21 (TOTI) --

Lucy Gordon, a 28 year old British actress that starred in Spider-man 3, has died as a result of an apparent suicide.

Her boyfriend, who remains anonymous, contacted authorities after he woke up to find her hanging from the ceiling of her Paris apartment this morning. Authorities do not suspect foul play in her death.

Gordon would have celebrated her 29th birthday on May 22.

The motive for Gordon's suicide aren't known, but friends close to the star say that she was deeply affected by the recent death of a friend in Britain.
