Reigning Miss Austria beauty queen Lucia Sisic has died at the age of 22, having experienced a lifelong heart condition.
Mission Austria, which runs the Miss Austria and Mister Austria beauty pageants, announced the news in a tribute on its Facebook page on Monday, saying: “It is with great shock and deep sorrow that we have learned of the passing of our Miss Austria 2024, Lucia Sisic.”
No cause of death has yet been confirmed.
Sisic was crowned Miss Austria in 2024 and remained the reigning titleholder as no subsequent contest has yet been staged.
In its Facebook post, translated from German, Mission Austria said: “We will remember Lucia as a wonderful young woman.
“Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and all those close to her during this difficult time.”
The message, signed by Mission Austria CEO Kerstin Rigger and her husband Jörg, added Sisic “will always remain a part of our Miss Austria family”.
As a public figure, Sisic had spoken openly about her health condition. In 2024, she shared a post on Instagram thanking her paediatric medical team who looked after her as a young person.
“Thanks to the medical staff and the dedicated doctors – who time and again saved my life through their tremendous efforts – I have overcome many difficult moments and been able to lead a fulfilling life,” she wrote at the time.
