McAllister was eliminated after the first week. Lex made waves when she spoke out about Jake’s breakup with Vienna Girardi (the season’s winner), saying Girardi was not at fault. Law enforcement sources in Columbus, Ohio tell us they received a 911 call Saturday at around 2 PM … the call said Lex had apparently OD’d on prescription pills. She was taken to a hospital in stable condition but, according to her family, her body started to shut down. The family withdrew life support and Lex died Tuesday morning. A member of Lex’s family tells us, she struggled with depression and bipolar disorder. h/t tmz
