Last week we told you about a Uruguayan model, Luisel Ramos, who died of a heart attack while on the catwalk during Fashion Week in Montevideo. According to her father, the model had been starving herself for days, but now others have come forward to dispute that allegation, including her boyfriend who had dined with her the day night before the fashion show.

…amongst the pain of yesterday, after Luisel’s burial, her boyfriend Hairo Berrondo clarified that this [the starving] wasn’t true. Berrondo said that he has known her for ten years, and that he’s been her boyfriend for two and a half.

“The night before the fashion show we went out to eat pizza, with two friends of hers…she had a diet soft drink but ate well,” he said.

In response to the different versions of the story being circulated by the media, the model’s boyfriend confirmed that “[Luisel] was neither anorexic nor bulimic.”

Berrondo also dicsounted the possibility of her doing drugs or being an alcoholic. “She didn’t even drink beer,” he said.

According to Spain’s 20 Minutos, an autopsy proved that the model did not suffer from an eating disorder nor was she addicted to drugs or alcohol.
