According to the local press reports on Monday, Solange Magnano died of a pulmonary embolism after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Buenos Aires. She has been Miss Argentina in 1994.

The 38 year old model traveled on Thursday from her home in the central province of Cordoba to the Argentine capital to have the cosmetic operation. While she was being treated at a private clinic, the model suffered a blood clot in the lungs that required her to be taken to the hospital, where she died on Sunday.

She was working for designer Roberto Piazza while she was managing a modeling school that she had opened two years ago in San Francisco, Cordoba.
