''The mysterious death of a Manhattan model discovered stabbed inside his Harlem apartment this summer has now been ruled a homicide.

The ruling only serves to intensify a case that has already cast a chilling light on domestic violence and obsession in New York's fashion world.

The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner announced that 34-year-old fitness model Jacob Zieben-Hood died from 'multiple blunt and sharp force injuries' to his legs and other parts of his body.

Officials also cited 'acute alcohol and lorazepam intoxication and chronic alcohol use' as contributing factors.''

''Prosecutors have charged his husband, fellow model Donald Zieben-Hood, with a litany of violent crimes connected to a pattern of alleged abuse leading up to Jacob's death.''
