PARIS: British actress Lucy Gordon, who starred in Spider-Man 3, has committed suicide in her Paris flat, her agent has confirmed.

Police in the French capital said the body of the 28-year-old, who was tipped to become the 'new Jane Birkin', was found on Wednesday.

"There were no suspicious circumstances," said a detective. "It appears that the young woman took her own life."

The Oxford-born actress also worked as a model.
