Just been searching to see if there is any verification, and although I can't find anything on English speaking sites, the story has been picked up by quite a few Russian sites - Sport Express, 5TV, Izvestia, Gazeta, News RU (Israel), Ren TV.

I don't know how reputable these sites are. So, I am hoping beyond hope that it is just a rumour that has got out of hand.

However, since I started typing this, sport.ru and Russia Today have reported it. So, I guess that our worst fears are confirmed.

I just don't know what to say. She was so young and so talented. I was so sad when she had to retire because of her injuries. Here is what I said at the time:

Really sad to hear this. They were a real breath of fresh air when they burst onto the Junior scene and had so much success.

But, Katia's health is the most important thing. She is young, and has the rest of her life ahead of her. We don't want her doing herself an even worse permanent injury by coming back when she is not fit to.

I wish both Katia and Harley all the best for the future.

Little did we realise that 5 months later this would happen.

It is just so tragic.

Katia, you brought a lot of people a lot of joy. We will miss you, but we will always remember you.

My thoughts go out to her family, friends and fans.

Oh, no... I loved their pair when they first appeared on the JGP. It was sad enough to hear the news of their split, but this is too surreal for my brain to process right now...

Thank you for inspiring us, Katia. Rest in peace :(

The editor provided a link to a story on TASS that says that there was a suicide note:

The source that TASS talked to also said that she had attempted suicide before.

Poor Katia. We knew you were struggling physically to get over your injury, but we didn't realise that you were struggling mentally to get over it as well.

This is all just so sad.

We love you, Katia.

Thank you for addding your translation of the relevant part of the TASS story to the thread, Orlov. I am wary of posting machine generated translations of stories like this, where the finer details matter so much. So I am grateful to you for doing a human translation.
