Tattooed Model Rick Genest DEAD @ 32
Known as Zombie Boy
Best known as a model who had head-to-toe tattoos and appeared in the music video for Lady Gaga’s 2011 song “Born This Way.”
As a teenager doctors him he had a brain tumor and the surgery required would leave him disfigured for life. He said that spiralled him into becoming obsessed with the morbid and macabre.
His doctors found an alternate cure and he survived without the disfiguring surgery. It was then he then began getting tattoos. One thing led to another and finally it lead to having a skeleton tattooed on his body.
Cause of death is said to be suicide.
