Alekseyeun responded to the death on Instagram. “I am beyond myself and sad to just hear that my roomate Sarah died. I can’t believe this,” she wrote. “She was the most selfless person I knew. She was always kind and helpful to everyone. I haven’t spoken to her in years and never knew she was troubled.”

They were unable to complete the task. During her time on the show, Sarah got a puppy named Leroy and had a feud with Melissa Padrón, which caused Padrón to move out of the house.
