Male Model Charles DeVoe Dies

A stunningly handsome male model who spent a month in a coma after a surfing accident in the Rockaways has died, sources said Monday.

Charles DeVoe, 28, had been hospitalized since the Nov. 12 incident. He died Friday.

FDNY divers had to cut DeVoe free after his ankle tether became snagged on a wooden pole. He was in the water for several minutes before he could be rescued.

DeVoe's agent, Jason Kanner, called DeVoe "a lovely kid who was respected and loved by many."

"This is a stunning and tragic loss for all those who loved and cared for him," Kanner said.

DeVoe came to New York in 2004 to pursue modeling and immediately made a splash.

He signed to Major Model Management and posed for fashion photography heavyweights like Bruce Weber, Steven Klein and Mario Testino.

He appeared in ad campaigns for Dolce Gabbana, Abercrombie & Fitch, Anne Klein, Buffalo Jeans, and alongside Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen for Stefanel.

His face graced the pages of magazines such as Details, GQ, Vogue Nippon, V Magazine, and Arena Hommes Plus.

DeVoe, who was from Philadelphia, chose modeling after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, said his parents David and Laura Lane DeVoe.
