It has now come to this: a beauty pageant contestant died mid-pageant due to her unhealthy weight-loss tactics.
Russian
contestant Olga Shkolkina, who was 20 years old, had been starving
herself and popping weight-loss pills. She collapsed after a dance
routine on stage that put too much strain on her heart, reported the Croatian Times.
Funny, and tragic, that they're not drug testing in all pageants yet.
