Eric Hill, a contestant on the upcoming season of "The Bachelorette," died Wednesday after being severely injured in a paragliding accident over the weekend in Utah. He was 31.
"Eric shared his final journey with us this morning as all his immediate family were able to be at his side when he passed away," his sister, Karen Tracy, announced on Facebook.
"He gave us such a gift of a life fully lived and fully shared, and allowed us all to be a part of his last adventure here on earth," she wrote. "It is hard to think of life without his bright spark, but we know he is on to new adventures. We look forward to carrying on his legacy here and greeting him joyfully again someday."
Hill was hospitalized in critical condition after his parachute collapsed while paragliding in Utah on Sunday, Us Weekly reports.
