A tragic incident unfolded earlier this week at a luxury wellness resort in the Hamptons, resulting in the deaths of a 33-year-old artist named Sabina Rosas and a suspect, Thomas Gannon. The Wayne County Coroner’s Office confirmed that Gannon, 56, confessed to the crime of killing Rosas before taking his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.

Sabina Rosas, also known as Sabina Khorramdel, was found dead at the Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, New York. The Suffolk County Police Department has not disclosed the cause of her death but stated that she was a victim of violence. The tragic incident has garnered significant attention, with various media outlets speculating about the circumstances surrounding her death and her relationship with Gannon.

Ruyo Journal, an online magazine co-founded by Rosas, released a statement confirming that her death was a result of violence. The magazine also emphasized that no family member or close friend of Rosas has provided information to the media, urging the public to be cautious of unverified sources.

While the nature of the relationship between Gannon and Rosas remains unconfirmed by authorities, Elizabeth Phillips, Rosas’ mentor, revealed to CBS News that Gannon financially supported the artist. Phillips expressed discomfort around Gannon, mentioning that he had dined with Rosas and displayed a desire to be constantly around her.

Rosas had initiated a GoFundMe campaign to attend an artist residency in Portugal, and Gannon had contributed $1,000 to the cause before the fundraiser was removed. Her artistic pursuits included sound art, intuitive drawing, and paintings, and she divided her time between Tajikistan and New York.

The tragic deaths of Sabina Rosas and Thomas Gannon shed light on the complexities of their relationship and the circumstances surrounding the crime. The community mourns the loss of a talented artist and reflects on the impact of violence on individuals and their loved ones.
