Ekvall, an actress and news anchor, died Saturday after 'demonstrating extraordinary calm and courage in her fight against cancer,' Padron said, without confirming whether the body would be sent home to Venezuela. The former beauty queen wrote a book after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year and tried to raise awareness of the disease. 'Now I know what it feels like to not have a hair on your head,' she said in a Twitter posting March 10. In Venezuela, 'we invest a lot of money in looking beautiful and not in health care', the former model said. Eva was among the top five finalists for the 2001 Miss Universe Competition which also featured Indian beauty queen Celina Jaitly. The pic shows Eva on the extreme right and Jaitley on extreme left.
