-Upcoming Bachelorette contestant Eric Hill has died after a paragliding accident. He was apparently already eliminated from the competition when the accident occurred. The newest season is currently filming. Bachelorette creator Mike Feiss said that “we’re going to try be as sensitive as possible” while airing the episodes he’s in. I wonder how they’re gonna deal with this unexpected tragedy.http://www.eonline.com/news/535203/bachelorette-tragedy-boss-mike-fleiss-on-how-show-will-handle-death-of-eric-hil  My heart goes out to Eric’s family and friends. I recently lost a loved one and I know how hard it is. R.I.P.
