Nick Viall says he 'vividly' remembers 'Bachelor' contestant Hailey Merkt after her death from leukemia
Briefly

On a very sad note, Hailey Merkt passed away. Hailey was on my season of 'The Bachelor' [in 2017]. She left week 2. I didn't really get to know her very well at all, but I very much vividly remember her, and I remember her to be very sweet and kind.
It's just very tragic. She struggled with a very tough battle of leukemia it sounds like, and recently passed away, so our love and hearts go out to her family, who are obviously going through it.
It sounds like she really put up a very courageous fight, and, unfortunately, she is with us no more. But very sad to see that she passed, and we're definitely praying for her and her family.
After the bone marrow transplant had taken, [Merkt] was told she had nine months to not even think about cancer, but in truth she only had 6 weeks before she got the terrible news that leukemia cells were back and moving fast.
