Model who appeared on German Come Dine With Me commits suicide 'after becoming target of internet trolls'
It is still unclear how she died but after her appearance last month, the devastated model suffered a barrage of abuse on email and social media from critics.
She was accused of being an attention seeker, and showing off for the cameras.
There were also several nasty comments about 'fake boobs,' and her appearance.
Her Facebook page displays Ms Boerner's modelling photos and says she is in a relationship.
It also says she worked as an office assistant as well as modelling.
Corinna Teuner - a spokeswoman for Vox, the station that made the show - said: 'We don't know if internet mobbing played a definite role in this case. We send our sympathy to the friends and family of the candidate.'
A message on the programme's website added: 'This week we received the sad news that Claudia, who was seen in the past week at The Perfect Dinner has died.
She struck us as a friendly, open-minded young woman. We were all surprised and shocked by the news.'
In the show competitors all cook for each other over a series of evenings and then give their score based on the meal.
Ms Boerner was up against two women and two men when she took part in the show.
