Washington, Feb 23 : The family of Alabama pageant queen Zoe Sozo Bethel has refuted rumours that the 27-year-old took her own life as she was a “devout believer in Jesus”. The Miss Alabama for America Strong 2021 had died on February 18, the family announced on Sunday. Bethel was in a coma for eight days after suffering brain injuries due to a fall from her Miami condo. Daily Mail quoted Zoe’s family as saying that the “devout believer in Jesus” and “proud conservative” would never have taken her own life. The Miami Police Department investigated the horror plunge as an attempted suicide but later clarified that the death is now being considered a “tragic accident”, and have ruled out foul play, Daily Mail reported.
The family said, “She was growing and becoming more successful each year of her life, and she was only just beginning. And if she had a choice, she would still be here with us today. As is common with any death that is not due to natural causes, law enforcement will conduct an investigation into the cause of death. “Thus, the investigation into the cause of Zoe’s death is part of the normal protocol for law enforcement, and is still open and pending. “The initial police report is simply preliminary and is not conclusive, and is further absent specific facts from eyewitness testimony that would alter the ‘incident type’ status listed on the preliminary police report. “The family reserves the right to release information as is appropriate in conjunction with the investigation and will make certain necessary information available at the conclusion of the investigation.”
