Miss Venezuela Universe 2001 dies of cancer
Eva Ekvall, Miss Venezuela and 3rd runner-up at Miss Universe 2001, died after a long battle against cancer. She discovered that she had breast cancer not long after giving birth to her first and only child. She wrote a book telling her experience entitled “Out of Focus”.
We covered the Miss Universe in 2001, when Eva competed. She was intelligent, had a strong personality, and was undeniably beautiful. We feel tremendously for this awful loss.
Eva died at the early age of 28.
