<b>1. Chelsi Smith is the 6th American to win Miss Universe: </b>In 1995, the United States was already known as the formidable powerhouse of beauty.

<br />
<b>3. Joined the national pageant twice: </b>If they say that third time is a charm, a second time is exceptional. Chelsi Smith participated in Miss USA twice.

However, she failed to reach the final 3, making her think about her strengths and weakness during that particular pageant that was won by Lu Parker.

<br />
As for the condition of Chelsi Smith, liver cancer is a medical condition wherein it is characterized by the presence of either benign or malignant cancer cells in the liver. These cancer cells in the liver metastasize or spread easily due to a rapid replication process. While cancer cells replicate, it creates a pressure on the normal cells and tissues in the liver. These cells can spread through nearby organs such as the small and large intestines, gall bladder, stomach, pancreas, and lungs. If left untreated, it can cause death.<br />
<br />
Liver cancer is thought to be associated with excessive medication or alcoholism, which significantly affects the function of the liver. Existing hepatitis viruses can also aid with the mutation of hepatic cells to develop into cancer cells. In addition, excessive fat intake can induce liver cirrhosis that could prompt cell mutation and then becoming cancer cells.<br />
<br />
Condolence to the bereaved family of Chelsi Smith.<br />
