Zoe Sozo Bethel, a former Miss Alabama who was a prominent participant in politically conservative organizations, died after falling from a third-floor window in Miami. Bethel’s family is skeptical of the police’s finding that she committed suicide, as they say she was a very religious person who would never have taken her own life. They believe her consistency in attending church and being proud of her conservative views are indicative of this.
The following statement was released by Zoe’s heartbroken family:
“She was growing and becoming more successful each year of her life, and she was only just beginning. And if she had a choice, she would still be here with us today. As is common with any death that is not due to natural causes, law enforcement will conduct an investigation into the cause of death. Thus, the investigation into the cause of Zoe’s death is part of the normal protocol for law enforcement, and is still open and pending.”
The statement concluded:
“The initial police report is simply preliminary and is not conclusive, and is further absent specific facts from eyewitness testimony that would alter the ‘incident type’ status listed on the preliminary police report. The family reserves the right to release information as is appropriate in conjunction with the investigation and will make certain necessary information available at the conclusion of the investigation.”
Bethel, a mother of one a five-year-old girl, was a political commentator for RBSN – a well-known conservative media company that covers Donald Trump’s rallies. She also had ties to the anti-abortion group Students For Life and Project Veritas.
Rest in peace, Zoe. You will be sorely missed!
