Ex-model Domino Harvey has passed away.

Her life inspired a new action/thriller movie, which stars Keira Knightley. Despite the sudden death, the film is complete and will be released on August 19.

“It’s inspired by her but it’s not based on her life story,” said a New Line Cinema spokesperson.

Authorities reported that Harvey, 35, had been found unconscious in her bathtub on Monday night, according to the New York Daily News. She was pronounced dead at the hospital. An autopsy could not reveal exactly what had killed her.

“Domino never failed to surprise or inspire me over the last 12 years,” said director Tony Scott. “She was a free spirit like no other I have ever known.”

Harvey, the daughter of Paulene Stone and actor Laurence Harvey, who starred in the original Manchurian Candidate (1962), quit modeling to become a bounty hunter. Prior to her death, she was arrested last month in a drug trafficking incident in Mississippi and was awaiting trial.

New Line and Scott have made no plans to change the ending of the film.
