The former Bachelor student Hailey Merkt has died at the age of 31 after a long battle with leukemia.

An image of Hailey was included in the post, which said that she had died.

It is with broken hearts we share that our beloved Hailey has passed away after a courageous fight for her life,” the message said.

“Hailey went on this journey with unimaginable bravery, kindness, and selflessness. Her bravery, determination, and will to live came through in the face of every deadline the doctors gave her. She chose to spend her last moments with family and friends doing what she loved most, with no regrets.

Hailey was described as “highly entertaining, never dull, and fully present in the present moment” in the post.

“Hailey embraced life with an unmatched zest; her beautiful spirit has touched countless lives,” said the caption.

Furthermore, the post said, “Hailey will be deeply missed by all who knew her.” Her love, laughter, and energetic spirit will always be remembered in our hearts. We are sad about her death, but it makes us feel better to know that her spirit will live on in everyone she inspired.

“Rest in peace, Hailey.”

Grieving family members of Hailey have set up a GoFundMe to help them get through this hard time.

The campaign page will stay open until August 10 and has raised more than $112,208 Canadian dollars.

Hailey first appeared on The Bachelor in Season 21 (2017), when she competed for Nick Viall’s heart.

Her elimination happened in the second week of the competition.
