Miss Universe 2017 Contestant Kseniya Alexandrova Dies After Deer Smashes Through Car Windshield
Kseniya Alexandrova, who represented Russia in Miss Universe 2017, died due to significant brain injuries when an elk crashed into the windshield of her Porsche last month. Kseniya Alexandrova, who represented Russia in Miss Universe 2017, died earlier this week in a freak car accident when a deer smashed through the windshield of her Porsche, according to several reports. She was aged 30 at the time of her death. Kseniya was the first runner-up of Miss Russia 2017 and represented Russia at Miss Universe 2017. She suffered severe brain injuries when a big elk crashed into the windshield of her car while she and her husband were driving in Tver Oblast, Russia, on July 5, according to People magazine. For the unversed, an elk is one specific species of deer, and is technically much larger than other deer species. They weigh approximately 320-500 kg, and they also have antlers that can be up to four feet long. Kseniya was in the passenger seat of the Porsche Panamera. Kseniya suffered significant trauma that kept her in a coma until she died on Friday (August 15), although her husband managed to survive. 'From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn't have time to do anything," her husband told a Russian outlet. 'The Miss Universe Organisation extends its deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and everyone whose life was touched by the light of Miss Universe Russia 2017, Kseniya Alexandrova," the Miss Universe said in a statement. 'Her grace, beauty, and spirit left an unforgettable mark on the Miss Universe family and beyond. May her memory continue to inspire kindness, strength, and love in all those who were fortunate enough to know her." 'Everything Was Covered In Blood' The husband, Ilya, said the elk's leg hit her wife's head after going through the window of the sports car. 'The elk flew into the car. The blow hit Kseniya in the head. She was unconscious, her head was broken, and everything was covered in blood," he said. What added to the tragedy was that the couple had married four months before the accident. Tributes started pouring in soon after Kseniya's death reports were made public. Kseniya's modelling agency, Modus Vivendis, which she began working with at 19 years old, confirmed her death on social media. 'Kseniya was bright, talented and extraordinarily bright. She knew how to inspire, support and give warmth to everyone around her. For us, she will forever remain a symbol of beauty, kindness and inner strength," it said. In addition to being a model, Kseniya also worked as a psychologist and television host. She earned a degree in finance and credit from Plekhanov Russian University of Economics in 2016. Later, in 2020, she graduated from the High School of Cinema and Television Ostankino. She earned a psychology degree from Moscow Pedagogical State University in 2022 and worked as a therapist.
