This is very sad news... Not sure if this means a delay in the release of Keira's film, although i would say its highly likely

Former supermodel-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey was found dead in a bathtub in her West Hollywood home on Monday night. She was 35. The daughter of late English actor Laurence Harvey - who starred in the original 1962 The Manchurian Candidate - and model Paulene Stone, was facing a possible life jail sentence over drug charges filed last year. Domino quit modeling 12 years ago to capture fugitives and criminals who had jumped bail. Police Lieutenant Don Mauldin says, "We got a call at 10:30 last night, saying that possibly a person had drowned in a bathtub. A friend or relative had called 911 from the house for paramedics. She was found in the bathtub." Mauldin denied rumors a gun was involved in the demise, saying, "If it was a gunshot wound or a suicide, then we would have sent investigators to the scene - that did not happen." The Los Angeles coroner is set to perform toxicology tests to see if drugs were involved. Domino's life story has recently been the subject of Keira Knightley's new movie Domino, which is scheduled to hit cinema screens in the UK in August, although it may now be delayed to incorporate the former model's death into the storyline.

STATEMENTS REGARDING THE DEATH OF DOMINO HARVEY
Domino Harvey, the inspiration for New Line’s upcoming film Domino, died in her Los Angeles home on the evening of June 27. Following are reactions to the news of her death from the film’s director and producer.
“Domino never failed to surprise or inspire me over the last 12 years. She was a free spirit like no other I have ever known.”
Tony Scott, director of Domino
“We were enormously saddened to hear of Domino’s untimely passing. She and I had been conferring about her music to be used in the film only weeks ago. I know I speak for all of us on the movie’s cast and crew when I say how much we enjoyed her presence on set when she visited. And although our film is not intended as a biographical piece, hers was the dynamic personality and indomitable spirit that spawned an exciting adventure, not just on screen, but in real life.”
Samuel Hadida, producer of Domino
