Overview
- Gabrielle Henry, 29, is being treated at Paolo Rangit Hospital’s intensive care unit near Bangkok after a violent fall during the preliminary evening-gown segment.
- Her family says she sustained a traumatic brain injury, while Jamaican authorities report lacerations to her chin and foot.
- On medical advice she withdrew from the 74th Miss Universe contest and missed the final, where Mexico’s Fatima Bosch was crowned.
- Culture Minister Olivia Grange said relatives told her there was no error in Henry’s walk before the fall, and the Jamaica committee urged prayers and discouraged speculation.
- Event officials in Mexico earlier indicated no fractures, and video of the stretcher evacuation fueled scrutiny of a pageant already facing complaints about judging transparency.
