“We were called for a report of a woman in cardiac arrest.

The reality star was a fan favourite when she attempted to find love, alongside 22 other singles in 2017 on season seven of the show.
She secured herself the $1 million jackpot during the final Match Up.
The show used psychological testing to determine which contestants were best suited romantically while they dated and socialised.
Despite viewers being able to see the results of the tests, contestants were not permitted to know.
The tragic news of Alexis’ passing comes just four months after she took to social media to celebrate her sobriety, after opening up about her personal battles with substance abuse.
She shared an image that showed her improvement, posing alongside her dad, who she revealed also battled with addiction.
