Tragic reports have confirmed the death of Australian runway model Lucy Markovic.
According to reports from local media outlets, she was only 27 and first gained fame as a leading contestant on the hit reality television show, Australia’s Top Model.
She died while undergoing an emergency brain surgery procedure at the start of the month to treat her AVM medical condition.
The medical condition is known for being a rare and serious ordeal involving tangled blood vessels found inside the brain.
As per a report from Mayo Clinic, AVMs end up disrupting blood flow and prevent oxygen from properly reaching all brain tissue.
This condition is very rare and impacts one in just 100,00 people. The star’s partner, Carlos, shared the devastating news of her death through a post on social media.
‘Dear friends and family, I regret to inform you that Lucy has passed away’- the message read on Instagram.
He also shared how she was at peace and her loved ones, including him, were right there by her side during this difficult time. The family has requested space and privacy during this difficult time.
