Jed Wyatt, Grant Eckel and More Members of Bachelor Nation React to 'Bachelorette' Alum Tyler Gwozdz's Death

Always in their hearts. Jed Wyatt, Grant Eckel and other members of Bachelor Nation are remembering Bachelorette alum Tyler Gwozdz after his death. Us Weekly confirmed that Gwozdz, 29, passed away on Wednesday, January 22, one week after being rushed to a Florida hospital for a suspected overdose. The reality TV alum, who appeared on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette, had been in a critical yet stable condition for most of his hospital stint before news broke that he had died. On Thursday, January 23, TMZ reported that the former dating show contestant had been transported to the hospital on January 13 after paramedics responded to a 911 call. The woman who made the call claimed to dispatchers that she tried to help Gwozdz, but struggled to enter the locked room he was found in. [sendtonews type="float" key="drMxDGAAza-3113385-14453"] The sales manager competed for the 25-year-old pageant queen's heart on season 15 of the ABC dating show, which aired in the summer of 2019. Three episodes into the season, it was revealed that Gwozdz had been removed from the competition. Though Brown offered little explanation to the other men at the time, she said that she had "really enjoyed" her one-on-one date with Gwozdz. His exit from the series was unexpected, but Gwozdz seemed to look back on his Bachelorette experience fondly. "🌹How can you be nervous once you see that smile? 👸🤩🌹…Have a safe weekend guys, see ya Monday !! #bachelornation #abc #rose #loafers #iwasprettynervousnotgonnalie," he wrote alongside a snap of his limo entrance in May 2019 via Instagram. He later addressed rumors that past disrespectful behavior toward women was the cause for his removal from the ABC show. "The rumors are so far out of the realm of my personality and values that it seems silly to waste time denying, but I suppose I will for the record. But I will be alright," Gwozdz told Refinery29 in May 2019. "This was a decision that I came to with producers, and something that I’ve come to realize what is the best decision that could’ve been made."

“I had the privilege to get to know Tyler Gwozdz on The Bachelorette. He was a man with good intentions. He wanted to make a positive impact on the world,” the import/export manager told Us. “We had the chance to relate to each other and encourage each other on and off the show. I’m in shock from this whole thing. I hate it for his family and will continue to pray for them. It’s tough in times like this to think positive, but I believe God will bring good from all of this. It’s hard to take in. … Speak love and be kind, it could make a bigger impact than you know.”

"Tyler was always kind to me at the Bachelor mansion. He was the one who told me that Hannah was looking for a bold man, which inspired me to crash that group date," the computer software salesman told Us. "All of the guys were shocked when he left unexpectedly after his one-on-one with Hannah during week one. He was an intellectual man with a sharp sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones during this tragic loss."

"It’s beyond sad to hear that he has passed. I wish I knew he was struggling and could have been there to help or be there for him more as a support," the talent manager said in a statement to Us. "I am sure a lot of the guys from our season are shocked and taken back by the news of his passing (like myself). It’s without a doubt a sad day. Tyler’s a great guy. Last I saw him, he was all smiles and laughs, making good memories. My condolences and prayers go out to his family and other friends as well. I hope that Bachelor Nation will come together in some way to honor him. You never know what struggles someone is dealing with, which is why I think it is always important to be kind and supportive to those around you. Tomorrow is never guaranteed so appreciate those that you have today. RIP TG."
