Miss Alabama Zoe Bethel ingested substance, fell off balcony in ‘tragic accident,’ police say

Miami, Florida –  New details have emerged about the circumstances leading to the death of beauty pageant winner Miss Alabama, Zoe Sozo Bethel, who passed away from severe injuries sustained after a fall from a balcony of a Miami condo building in February 2022.

According to The Daily Mail, the police report from the City of Miami Police Department states that Bethel slipped into a coma after an accident on Feb. 10.

Earlier in the day, Bethel allegedly took an “unknown amount of unknown suspected narcotics” while at a restaurant with brother, Santiago Roman, and later behaved erratically.

The Christian beauty queen ingested “a mystery cannabis substance” in the hours before she ran at “full speed” towards a balcony railing on the third floor of her brother’s apartment building, according to the Daily Mail‘s account of the police report. Bethel was reportedly overheard praying with another brother who was on the phone with her before the accident, the article states.

Roman, who witnessed the fall, said his sister would not have intentionally jumped to her death. According to a document published by the Daily Mail and identified as the police report, Bethel was pacing in the hallway of his building, and when he tried to summon her back into his apartment, she ran in the opposite direction.

“Mr. Roman called out the victim’s name to tell her to get back inside. The victim looked back and took off running full speed straight ahead. Mr. Roman stated that the victim was not aware of the balcony railing in front of her,” the post report states. “The victim’s bottom part of her body hit the railing and she fell over, landing on the first-floor parking lot. Mr. Roman ran down to the first-floor parking lot,” it concluded, “and observed the victim bleeding from the head and nose.”

She died more than a week later.

Sounds like she may have taken a high dosage of an edible…
