She was in the passenger seat of the car when the vehicle struck the elk, and she was transported to a hospital in Moscow, where she died from her injuries after several weeks. Her husband survived the crash.

The model's death was marked by various organizations, including the Miss Universe pageant, which released a statement about her "grace, beauty, and spirit."
