Miss Alabama Zoe Sozo Bethel, a deeply religious beauty pageant contestant and conservative commentator, died Friday in Miami of head injuries that she sustained in a mysterious accident, her family announced on social media. 

'Our beloved Zoe Sozo Bethel passed from this life into the next as a result of succumbing to her injuries,' her family wrote on Facebook. Bethel, 27, represented the Cotton State in the Miss for America Strong pageant, which honors single women. 

She was also a political commentator for RBSN, a conservative media company known for covering former President Donald Trump's rallies, according to her family.
