Gia Allemand: Suicide Attempt Revealed As Cause Of Death Of ‘Bachelor’ Star

Gia was admitted to University Hospital in New Orleans on Aug. 12 and at the time no one knew why she was in critical condition. It has since been revealed that she tried to hang herself. Her boyfriend found her.

After her death on Aug. 14, her family released this statement:

While in her residency in New Orleans on Monday night, Ms. Allemand was found by her boyfriend, NBA Basketball Player Ryan Anderson, following an apparent suicide attempt.

Mr. Anderson contacted 911 and emergency medical crews were immediately dispatched to the scene. Tuesday, Ms. Allemand remained in the hospital unconscious in critical condition and on life support.

Due to a critical loss of brain and organ function, life support was withdrawn today. Ms. Allemand passed away peacefully with her mother, boyfriend, and other life-long friends by her side. As a practicing Christian, Gia did receive the sacrament of last rites.

Loved ones and fans will remember Gia Allemand as a caring woman who loved her family and was well-known for her compassion towards animals and mission to rescue homeless pets.

Funeral arrangements will be forthcoming in another official statement once available. On behalf of the family, we sincerely ask for privacy at this time.

Gia and her boyfriend Ryan had a rocky relationship, reports TMZ, who believe this caused her suicide attempt.
