A tragic incident has rocked Jamaica following the death of former Miss Universe Jamaica finalist, Tyra Spaulding, who was found in her home on Tuesday evening, September 23, in what police suspect to be suicide.
The 26-year-old, who was both a model and an accountant, was discovered hanging from her bed frame with a pink curtain tied around her neck. According to the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Corporate Communications Network (CCN), the heartbreaking discovery was made around 6:55 pm.
Police authorities have since launched an investigation into the suspected case of suicide.
Spaulding, who competed in the 2023 edition of the Miss Universe Jamaica pageant, had previously spoken publicly about mental health struggles and was known for her advocacy on suicide prevention. Her death has, therefore, sent shockwaves through both the fashion and mental health advocacy communities in Jamaica and beyond.
In a statement released on Thursday, September 25, the Miss Universe Jamaica Organization expressed deep sorrow over her passing, describing her as more than just a contestant.
“Tyra was more than a contestant; she was a vibrant, intelligent and inspiring young woman whose grace and spirit touched everyone she met,” the organisation said.
It also extended heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones on behalf of reigning Miss Universe Jamaica, Dr Gabrielle Henry, alongside National Directors Mark McDermoth and Karl Williams.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with them as we remember and honour her remarkable life and legacy. May she rest in eternal peace,” the statement added.
The tragic loss of Tyra Spaulding has reignited conversations about the importance of mental health awareness and the need for stronger support systems for young people facing personal struggles.
