Bachelorette's Tyler Gwozdz Dead at 29

Former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Gwozdz, who competed on Hannah Brown’s season, has died at the age of 29, according to People. An autopsy is still pending, but his death is suspected to be the result of a drug overdose.

Gwozdz was admitted to a Florida hospital earlier this month following what’s described as a “medical overdose.” He was placed in intensive care and remained hospitalized for a week, listed in critical but stable condition. The Palm Beach Medical Examiner’s office confirms that Gwozdz’s body is currently in their custody.
