By Giulia CarbonaroShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberMiss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, is expected to remain hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least seven days after a scary fall while walking on the stage of the Miss Universe runway in Thailand, her sister said on Saturday.
The 28-year-old contestant "isn’t doing as well as we would have hoped," her sister, Phylicia Henry-Samuels, said in a post on Miss Universe Jamaica's Instagram, "but the hospital continues to treat her accordingly.”
Henry-Samuels and their mother Maureen Henry are at the Thai hospital where she is being treated, the update added.
Henry, an ophthalmologist crowned Miss Jamaica 2025, fell from the stage during a preliminary round on Wednesday.
She was walking down the stage during the preliminary evening gown category when she appeared to miss a step and fell completely off stage. She was carried away on a stretcher.
...The Miss Universe Jamaica team called this a “profoundly difficult time,” calling on Jamaicans “at home and across the Diaspora to continue keeping Gabrielle in their prayers.”
The Miss Universe Organization released an update shortly after the incident, saying: “She was rushed to the Paolo Rangsit Hospital, where medical professionals are attending to her care and have advised that she is not suffering from any life-threatening injuries. However, they continue to conduct tests to ensure her full recovery.”
This is a developing story; updates will follow shortly.
