Miss Jamaica Suffered Intracranial Hemorrhage & Other Injuries After Miss Universe Stage Fall

The Miss Universe organization is providing an update on Miss Jamaica Dr. Gabrielle Henry weeks after she fell off the stage during the Miss Universe preliminary evening gown competition round. On Monday, Dec. 8, Miss Universe released a joint statement with Dr. Henry’s family, revealing that her “serious fall” resulted in “an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other significant injuries.” The organization went on to note that Dr. Henry was “immediately admitted to intensive care in Bangkok where she remained in critical condition under constant neurological monitoring and continues to require 24-hour specialist supervision.” Dr. Henry will return to Jamaica in the next few days alongside a “full medical escort team” and will be transferred to a local hospital, the release added. The Miss Universe organization, which noted that it is covering all medical expenses in Thailand for Dr. Henry as well as accommodation and living costs for her family while they stay beside her, additionally shut down rumors suggesting she contributed “in any way” to the fall. “The Miss Universe Organization has never attributed blame to Dr. Henry and confirms that those suggestions are unfounded and do not reflect the facts,” the pageant stated.
