" Maria de Villota, former F1 test driver, was found dead in her hotel room at the Hotel Sevilla Congresso on Friday. The Associated Press reports de Villota was found early Friday morning, and local police say she died of natural causes. She was 33 years old. Last year, de Villota suffered serious injuries during a crash while testing with the Marussia F1 team. The incident saw the driver hospitalized for a month, and resulted in the loss of an eye. The former driver was set to present her book about the ordeal, &amp;quot;Life is a Gift,&amp;quot; on Monday. Her family posted a simple message on de Villota&amp;#039;s Facebook page, saying, &amp;quot;Dear friends: Maria has left us. She had to go to heaven like all angels. I give thanks to God for the year and a half that he left her with us.&amp;quot; Via ABC News "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
