Former Bachelor contestant, Lex McAllister, who was on Jake Pavelka’s season in 2010, has died in an apparent suicide at the age of 31.
McAllister was rushed to the hospital in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, Feb. 13 after she texted an unidentified friend with suicidal thoughts. When the friend got to her home, she had overdosed on pill bottles.
TMZ reports when she was taken to the hospital her condition was stable, but she continued to deteriorate since then and her family took her off of life support on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
McAllister, who was eliminated in the first episode of the 14th season, is the second contestant from that season to commit suicide. Gia Allemand, who was third runner up, took her own life in 2013 by hanging herself in her home at the age of 29.
Family members and friends close to McAllister say she had a history of bipolar disorder and has struggled with depression.
