Earlier this week it was being reported that New Orleans Pelicans star, Ryan Anderson, rushed his girlfriend Gia Allemand to the hospital where she was in critical condition. The cause of her hospital visit was only listed as “medical emergency” and no details were released. Today TMZ reports that Gia, who was a contestant on Season 14 of The Bachelor, passed away and it has been ruled a suicide.

As we reported, the 29-year-old model had been hospitalized in New Orleans since Monday following what her family called a serious emergency medical event. The details surrounding the event are unclear, but it was announced that Allemand had been placed on life support.
Allemand’s mother and longtime boyfriend NBA player Ryan Anderson — of the New Orleans Pelicans — were at her side when she died.
TMZ has learned … the cause of death was suicide. Gia’s boyfriend Ryan Anderson found Gia in her house Monday night. We’re told Gia was on life support, which was withdrawn today. She had suffered “critical loss of brain and organ function.”
Season 14 winner Vienna Girardi tells us, “Gia was a beautiful girl and an unbelievable friend. I’m shocked and can’t believe what happened to her. She seemed so happy, but you never know the demons people are fighting inside. I will never forget her and will miss my friend forever.”
Condolences to Ryan and Gia’s family and friends.
