A member of the season 27 cast of “Big Brother” has died.
Mickey Lee was 35 years old.
Her family said on social media, “With profound sadness, the family of Mickey Lee announces her transition on Christmas in the early evening.”
Lee’s family had launched a GoFundMe after she had several cardiac arrests attributed to flu complications. She had been in an intensive care unit in critical but stable condition, according to the fundraiser.
Lee was originally from Jacksonville, Florida, but lived in Atlanta. During her stint on “Big Brother,” she said she was an event curator.
Entertainment Weekly said she was on day 59 of the reality competition before she was evicted. She finished in 10th place.
Her season ran from July to September this year, according to Deadline.
