Alexa McAllister, who was eliminated at the first Rose Ceremony of Season 14, was found dead from apparent suicide, TMZ reported. McAllister's family believe she overdosed on prescription pills.
According to law enforcement sources in Columbus, OH, a 911 call was placed Saturday at 2PM ET/PT, after which she was rushed to the hospital in stable condition.
McAllister's family ultimately decided to withdraw her life support once it became clear her organs were failing.
A family insider told TMZ that McAllister had struggled with bipolar disorder and depression.

McAllister was billed as a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Galloway, OH when she competed on The Bachelor: On The Wings of Love.
Pavelka ended up proposing to Vienna Girardi on the finale of the show when it aired in 2010. The couple had a volatile and messy split, and McAllister publicly took Girardi's side.
If McAllister's death is definitely ruled a suicide, she'll be the second woman from Pavelka's season to take her own life. Third-place finisher Gia Allemand, who also later appeared on Bachelor Pad, hanged herself in August 2013.
