Fire claims the life of former model


A 29-year-old woman who once modeled the latest designer fashions on the runways of Europe died Sunday in an apartment on Broadway Street.

Heather Stohler was living with her boyfriend, Daniel Risley, 26, in an upstairs apartment at 604 Broadway St.

At 8:48 a.m. Sunday firefighters received a report from a tenant at the apartment complex saying there was a fire.

"Upon arrival, flames were visible. About three-fourths of the apartment was a total loss and the estimated damage amount is over $15,000," said VFD chief Mike Lankford.

"We haven't established a cause yet, but our investigation will continue today," the chief added.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The victims were both taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where Stohler was pronounced dead. Risley was later taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis.

He was listed in stable but critical condition.

Stohler was originally from Frankton and had what appeared to be a flourishing modeling career, mostly working in Europe. She modeled clothing for Calvin Klein, appearing in ads with Kate Moss, and was on the cover of fashion magazines, such as the European edition of Marie Claire.

A relative who contacted the Sun-Comercial couldn't why Stohler, who was originally from Frankton, a small town northwest of Anderson, was living in Vincennes.

Other relatives said she had grown weary of the lifestyle she was leading in Europe and wanted a change.

Firefighters stayed on the scene for eight hours and several minor injuries were reported including abrasions and bruises.

City police and Indiana State Police assisted at the scene.

HEATHER STOHLER
Fire claims a second victim

A man critically injured in a Sunday morning blaze has died.

Daniel Risley, 26, was pronounced dead about 1 a.m. today at Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis, according to Pat Frederick with Frederick and Son Funeral Home, 313 Church St.

City Fire Chief Mike Lankford said Risley suffered burns over a "substantial" portion of his body.

Risley's girlfriend, 29-year-old Heather Stohler, a once accomplished international model, also died in the fire. Knox County Coroner Don Halter told fire officials she died from smoke inhalation.

Fire officials ruled the fire that consumed the apartment the two shared at 604 Broadway St. as accidental, but an exact cause has not yet been released.

Little light has been shed so far on the mystery surrounding why Stohler, formerly of Frankton, Ind., left international stardom to settle in small town Southern Indiana.

Tim Allen, her cousin living in a small town just north of Anderson,, said up until a few years ago, Stohler had been traveling the world, modeling the latest designer fashions on the runways of Europe. She had appeared in Calvin Klein ads

with international supermodel Kate Moss and was represented by several modeling agencies, including Donald Trump Management in New York, Ford and Elite, according to an Internet profile.

She appeared on the covers of German Marie Claire and Italian Vogue.

But Allen said Stohler grew weary of the fast-paced life and decided to return to Indiana. She was adopted as a young child by an aunt and lived in Frankton before going away to modeling school. The aunt now lives in Florida, Allen said.

Allen was unsure why Stohler was living in Vincennes but thought it possible Risley was either from or had family in this area. However, no one has come forward to the Sun-Commercial claiming to be one of Risley's relatives.

An employee with the Sun-Commercial did, however, say Risley went to North Knox High School.

Allen also didn't know if Stohler was working in Vincennes. He last spoke to her in December, and he said she seemed very happy.

She is to be buried in Florida on Monday, he added.

Firefighters first responded to the fire at about 8:45 a.m. and found flames coming from the apartment's windows. Fire officials estimated about $15,000 in damage and said no other apartments sustained any significant damage.
