Jan. 14 (UPI) —<\/span> Former Bachelorette <\/i>contestant Clint Arlis has died.<\/p>\n

Arlis’ sister, Taylor Lulek, confirmed on Facebook that Arlis died Tuesday at age 34.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

“It is with great sadness, to tell you that my family has lost my best friend and older brother Clint on the morning of January 11th,” Lulek wrote.<\/p>\n

“Please respect our family’s privacy as we try to cope with this great loss. Details on the service will follow,” she said. “Thank You.”<\/p>\n

Arlis was a contestant in The Bachelorette<\/i> Season 11 starring Kaitlyn Bristowe, where he was eliminated in Week 3.<\/p>\n

Bristowe addressed Arlis’ death in a video Thursday on Instagram Stories, telling her followers that Arlis had “tragically passed.”<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure what happened [or] how it happened, but all I want to say is knowing him from the show, even though things didn’t end on the best terms for us, from his time on the show until today, I have heard nothing but incredible things about that person from his peers, his students, his coaches, his teachers, his friends, his family,” Bristowe said. “Clint was very well-respected in his world.”<\/p>\n

“I just don’t know much right now and it’s none of my business. This Instagram Story is literally just to say to anyone that knows him who might follow me that I am so sorry. It’s such a huge loss and I am honestly just beside myself at this news,” she added.\n<\/p>\n

Nick Viall, who was the runner-up in Bristowe’s season, also paid tribute to Arlis online.<\/p>\n

“Just heard about the passing of Clint Arlis. I got a chance to get know Clint a little after our time on Kaitlyns season and I always enjoy are time and conversations. A very kind, unique and talented person who was taken from this world far too soon. RIP Clint,” Viall tweeted<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
