His former co-star, Arie Luyendyk Jr., previously admitted that his friend had suffered from addiction issues but was living in a sober home before his relapse.

Nance – who competed for a chance to win the heart of Emily Maynard on season eight of the ABC show – was found “unresponsive” in the early hours of May 29.

“We are all terribly heartbroken, but as a parent this is your worst nightmare. Our lives will never be the same.”
