This story just keeps getting sadder.

Gia Allemand, who was pronounced dead Wednesday at University Hospital in New Orleans, apparently hanged herself on Monday night, multiple sources confirm to E! News.

The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad star was 29.

Her boyfriend, NBA player Ryan Anderson, discovered her at her home on Monday night and called 911, according to a statement released by Allemand's rep on behalf of her family, who previously confirmed that she was found after an apparent suicide attempt.

Sadly, Allemand's attempt proved successful. Doctors withdrew life support after determining that she had suffered a critical loss of brain and organ function.

Sources told E! News that Allemand and Anderson had been having problems with their relationship, but they were still together at the time of her death.
