Plus-Size Model Mia Davis Dead at 36
Beautiful plus-size model Mia Amber Davis died Tuesday after undergoing routine knee surgery in L.A. She was only 36.
News of the tragedy first broke on Facebook's Plus Model magazine page. A statement on the page read: "It is with great sorrow that we are confirming that our dear friend, and plus-size model Mia Amber passed away just a short time ago. We do not have any details, please send your love and prayers to the family, mom and her husband. Her fan page is here: Mia Amber Davis Fan Page. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy."
Davis' agent believes her untimely death was caused by complications from her knee surgery, although an autopsy is expected this week.
The model's husband, Michael Yard, was in New York when she passed, and said he had spoken to her early Tuesday and said she seemed fine. Hours later, he learned of her death from Mia's cousin, who said the model began experiencing dizziness and was taken to the hospital where she died a short time later, the exact cause of death not yet known.
Davis, who was best-known for her career as a plus-size model, made a cameo appearance in "Road Trip," and was set to receive the 2011 Full-Figure Fashion Week Runway Model of the Year Award.
She is survived by her husband, Michael.

Wow, what happened? Was she sent home from the hospital too soon? She looks young and fit. Any surgery is dangerous nowadays with MRSA, complications such as blood clots, and premature discharge from the hospital. Most people are not prepared to handle serious complications at home. Many procedures are performed out-patient and shouldn't be. We can thank the insurance companies for that...
I ordered the dress in lavender looked exactly as is and fit perfect. Was great everyone commented on how great it looked. It was delivered very quick...cheap prom dresses
Was she a plus size model, you could have foled me, either way she was far too young to leave this world; and from the looks of her she had a lot to give to this world!!! Did not know her, but I am sure the world will miss her!!! All my best to her husband and her family and friends!! My prayers go out to them, and may God bless all of them!!!
Internal bleeding. It's a killer. Squeeze your fingertips at the nail. The nailbed should turn pink right after you squeeze it. If it stays white you've got major bleeding issues.
My prayers to the family. Surgery always comes with risks. The most common are blood clots or atrial fibrillation from anesthesia; both can be fatal. Rest in Peace.
This is a horrible thing to happen for sure!! The only thing good is that there is a heaven and that is a better place to be.
