Alexis Eddy, who appeared on MTV’s Are You the One? season six, has died at the age of 23.
According to E! News, the reality star was found dead in her home state of West Virginia Thursday morning (January 9). The Mannington Police Department told the outlet in a statement they received a call from Alexis' home around 7 a.m. ET. "We were called for a report of a woman in cardiac arrest," the statement explained. "She was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was transported to Fairmont Regional Medical Center."
The statement continued, "This is an active investigation, so we cannot determine if there was foul play or not suspected at this time."
As fans know, Alexis was a standout contestant on Are You The One's sixth season. She was known for her partying, her unfiltered mouth, and her backstory. During the show's filming, she revealed on-camera that her cousin was a convicted murderer and she admitted to struggling with drug abuse.
However, in September, Alexis shared that both she and her father were sober and in recovery. "Guuuuuys look at this pic of me n my daddio finally sober together [crying emojis]," she captioned two side-by-side photos that showed her and her father's physical transformation. "pic on the right was two years ago... what a difference. So very blessed today. #RecoveryRocks."
The next month, Alexis announced that she got engaged to her boyfriend, Nate Lee. “Went to play in the woods…Walked out engaged,” she captioned an Instagram series of photos that showed her and Nate together. “love you @natelee4176.” However, the reality star later delated the engagement post.
As recently as last Thursday (January 2), the MTV alumna tweeted about her dating life, writing, “Wow ok I’m just gonna stop all you boys right now. 'I have Disney+’ is not a dating quality and NO, I’m not going to come lay at your house with you on a first, second, or third date. Social media really got the dating norm all screwy don’t it."
