“Dr. Henry suffered a serious fall through an opening in the stage while performing her walk during the preliminary competition on November 19, 2025, resulting in an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other serious injuries,” we can read in the press release published this Monday, December 8.
The note, released jointly by the Miss Universe Organization and Gabrielle Henry’s family, also states that Gabrielle Henry was “immediately admitted to the Bangkok Intensive Care Unit, where she remained in critical condition under constant neurological monitoring and continues to require specialized monitoring 24 hours a day.”
According to the statement, Miss Jamaica is expected to return to her country “in the coming days” and will be “accompanied by a full medical team and transferred directly to the hospital to continue her treatment and convalescence.”

At the time of Gabrielle Henry’s accident, videos circulating on social networks showed the moment of the fall, which left public opinion tense. While parading, the model ended up leaving the edge of the stage. Another recording shows that she had to be taken from the scene on a stretcher.

Shortly before, Miss Great Britain had also fallen during the national costume round, but managed to quickly get back up. It is suspected that the scene was slippery due to the build-up of glitter and spray tan.
Some reports indicate that the stage was constructed in the shape of a halo, containing a large hole in the center. Miss Jamaica probably didn’t realize she was heading towards this space until just before the fall.
According to the TMZ website, models usually rehearse the show several times. However, the moment surprised a large part of the public.
