REALITY TV star Kelsey Bateman has died unexpectedly at the age of 39.
Bateman rose to fame on the show Rock of Love, where more than 20 women competed to become singer Bret Michaels’ girlfriend.
Her cause of death remains unknown, as reported by TMZ.
A family source told the outlet that Bateman died recently.
Bateman appeared in the third and final season of the VH1 show, which aired in 2009 and was won by Taya Parker.
She was eliminated from the show after getting “wasted” with her co-stars.
“I ended up laying on a speed bump balling my eyes out but you know what?” she said in a confessional clip.
“But I mean, hey, I can’t be the only girl that’s got drunk and laid on a speed bump. Let’s be honest.”
Michaels, the lead singer of the rock band Poison, delivered his verdict, ending Bateman’s hopes of winning the contest.
