Five Things You Didn't Know About Gia Allemand, Her Life in Pictures [PHOTOS]
Gia Allemand, a contestant from Season 14 of ABC's "The Bachelor" was found dead in her New Orleans home. She was just 29. Her family has confirmed her death news.
Though Allemand was found by her NBA player boyfriend Ryan Anderson on Monday night, it was only on Wednesday that the news of her death was confirmed. The television star was hospitalized at University Hospital in New Orleans but was taken off life support Wednesday.
Allemand "passed away peacefully with her mother, boyfriend, and other lifelong friends by her side," her family's statement read, in part. "As a practicing Christian, Gia did receive the sacrament of last rites."
Gia was quite active on Twitter and Instagram and if we look deeply into what she wrote on Twitter, we would know the reality star was affected badly after the news of a suicide by a Canadian girl and called suicide to be "forever."
Gia reacted to the death of a 15-year-old Canadian schoolgirl who too committed suicide by hanging herself as she was bullied!
On October 13, 2012, Gia tweeted, "BULLYS YOU SUCK RT @LuisAmazin: R.I.P Amanda she committed suicide because of bullying :'( This is her story..."
Gia, who committed suicide, also liked the verses related to death and suicide as used to retweet them. One such re-tweet includes, "Words hurt. Pain lasts. And suicide is forever. Don't bully. Please RT. #RIPAmandaTodd."
Her last words on Twitter were a Bible verse from Proverbs 21:3 to her Twitter just one day before she tried to hang herself.
Gia tweeted, "Doing what is right and fair pleases The Lord more than an offering."
According to Biblestudytools, the meaning of proverb is to do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. However, Gia did exactly the opposite and went ahead and sacrificed her life. Or did she think this was the right thing to do?
Gia's boyfriend, Anderson, tweeted a Bible verse on Monday, the day of Allemand's suicide attempt: "Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Luke 14:11," he wrote.
