Former Miss Venezuela, Eva Ekvall, Dies of Breast Cancer at 28


Eva Ekvall was crowned Miss Venezuela at age 17 in 2000. The following year she was third runner-up in the Miss Universe pageant in Puerto Rico. She later went on to work as a model, actress, TV news anchor and author, eventually becoming one of her home country's greatest cancer charity advocates after she was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in February 2010.

The former beauty queen, whose mum is Jamaican and dad an American of Swedish and Hungarian descent, died on Saturday in a Houston, Texas hospital after a two year struggle with the disease.
 
She leaves behind a husband and a two year old daughter. RIP Eva!
