I cant believe this news, what could have happened that she is gone at 29. One of my all time favorite women from The Bachelor.

No idea who she is... but it was a suicide.

1:17 PM PT -- 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 We're told Gia was on life support, which was withdrawn today.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." Her mom, boyfriend and other friends were in the hospital when she died.

1:13 PM PT -- Although we do not know the cause of death yet, we were told by multiple people close to Gia that she had been extremely upset about a rocky relationship with her boyfriend Ryan Anderson.

I always thought she was super hot but she also came across as quietly crazy. It being a suicide would not surprise me a bit. She always seemed emotionally unstable on the shows she was on.

As Reality TV personalities go, I liked her. She was definitely beautiful. I tried to find a picture that did her justice, but had a tough time. I'll go with this one.

She was well known for dating professional athletes (not just her most recent NBA boyfriend). But at the end of the day, being beautiful and somewhat well-known isn't a panacea.

Why do the hottest women end up being the crazy ones, if its true that it was a suicide.

2:13 PM PT -- TMZ has learned Gia hanged herself. Her boyfriend, Ryan, found her hanging and unconscious in her home and immediately called 911.

You probably just waste hours of your life on other pointless things instead. You aren't better than anyone else.

Re: Bachelor and Bachelor Pad star Gia Alllemand dead at age 29

Isn't the trick to a relatively quick death by hanging all in the knot? Do suicidal people think this is a painless and easy way to go?

Being on reality, I'd assume she had a thing for dramatics...

Re: Bachelor and Bachelor Pad star Gia Alllemand dead at age 29

It's sad that a 29 year old doesn't know there is next to nothing worth killing yourself over at that age. And I never watched a fucking second of that show.

For the same reason Justin Bieber acts like Justin Bieber -- because they can.

That said, Gia was, by all accounts, considered a good, decent person. I can't remember anyone in Bachelor Nation having a bad word to say about her, which is saying something.

Anyway, who knows what happened.

I've never seen a second of The Bachelor, either, but she was a babe and it's a shame. You just don't know what's ever running through someones head.

Re: Bachelor and Bachelor Pad star Gia Alllemand dead at age 29

I see at lot of stuff referring to her death as an "attempted suicide". Since she died, doesn't the "attempted" part pretty much go away?

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...ntcmp=features

Reality TV personality Gia Allemand died on Wednesday, two days after an apparent suicide attempt. A contestant on Season 14 of "The Bachelor," Allemand had several friends from the long-running series. And while her unexpected death left many of her fans in shock, some of her friends from the reality TV world tell FOX411 that Allemand was a troubled beauty wrestling with insecurities.

"I could tell there was some insecurity going. I was not 100 percent surprised. Nothing surprises me anymore," said Reid Rosenthal, a contestant on Season 6 of 'The Bachelor" who was friends with Allemand. "I don’t know what she needed out of life. It’s sad. The last I heard we were supposed to be at an event this Thursday together."

MORE: Gia's boyfriend reacts to her death.

TV host Brian McFayden, who knew Allemand from several reality TV events they attended together, said Allemand was plagued with insecurity.

"She was looking for love. She was lost," McFayden said. "You met her and you can tell she was looking for attention from guys."

Jesse Csincsak from "The Bachelorette" Season 4, said Allemand "got a full facial rebuild before she went on the show. She had demons. I don’t where that comes from.”

But Csincsak, like the others, said there was something special about Allemand that drew people to her.

"We used to travel together a lot; three trips with her in Atlantic City, Miami, and Philly together," he said. "Literally everyone that met her loved her.She didn’t have to look for attention from guys, guys came to her."

And Allemand's friend, actor Jason London, told FOX411: “Her last Twitter post was a Bible verse. She was so full of life and love. The last time my wife and I saw her, she just met her with boyfriend, and they were crazy about each other and she was moving to Louisiana to be with him. She was one of the two or three girls on the planet who could get me to dance. She had that pull about her. She was impossible to say no to.”

Hot women have fewer restraints on their attitudes and behavior.

It's amazing and disappointing how many women - especially hot ones - worry about "finding love" or being married. It's really not all it's fucking cracked up to be.

full facial rebuild?

Also, I didn't realize that this is the Ryan Anderson that plays in the NBA...
