Russian model and former Miss Universe finalist Kseniya Alexandrova died at the age of 30, just a few weeks after a terrible automobile accident involving an elk. She died on August 12 from catastrophic brain damage she got when an elk slammed through the window of the automobile she was in.
Reports say that the accident happened on July 5 in Tver Oblast, Russia, while Alexandrova was driving with her husband. Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a Russian news site, spoke with her husband, who was driving at the time, about the terrible event.
“From the time it jumped out to the time it hit, a split second passed.” “I didn’t have time to do anything,” her husband said in a statement. He talked about the terrible things that happened following, saying that Alexandrova was knocked out and had a shattered head, and “everything was covered in blood.” Other drivers and emergency services were on the scene within minutes. Alexandrova was taken to a hospital in Moscow right away, but her injuries were too severe to survive.
Modus Vivendis, her modeling agency, announced the sad news of her death in a statement posted on Instagram. The agency said, “It is with deep sorrow that we announce that our colleague and friend, model Ksenia Alexandrova, passed away last night.” “For us, she will always be a symbol of beauty, kindness, and strength.”
At the time of the disaster, Alexandrova had only been married for four months. She was a well-known personality in the Russian beauty and fashion industry. In 2017, she came in second in the Miss Russia pageant and later that year went on to represent her country in the Miss Universe pageant. In addition to being a model, she was also a licensed psychotherapist.
Her passing has sent shockwaves through the business, with tributes flooding in from colleagues and organizations, including the Miss Universe Organization, which expressed its “deepest and most heartfelt condolences” to her family and friends.
