A stretcher was brought onto the stage and Henry was carried out, even as the evening gown round continued, with the next contestant coming out onto the stage.
The President of the Miss Universe organisation, Raul Rocha, took to Instagram to provide an update. He said that at 12am Bangkok time, he had just left the hospital, which the Miss Universe Jamaica Organisation said was Paolo Rangsit Hospital, and that there were "no broken bones." Miss Universe Jamaica Organisation confirmed that there were no life-threatening injuries and but that tests were being conducted to ensure her prompt recovery.
"We kindly ask everyone to stay upbeat, lift her in prayer, and send positive thoughts as she receives the necessary medical care," the organisation said.
The Miss Universe pageant this year has been fraught with drama and tension, with a scandal involving a pageant official calling a contestant "dumb" and three judges withdrawing from the show, one of whom cited unfair practices within the judging process.
Health update
Another update on Henry's health was issued on November 21 by two co-national directors of Miss Universe Jamaica who confirmed that she is still receiving medical treatment at the hospital in Thailand.
Henry will be required to remain in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a minimum of seven seven days, as doctors continue their close monitoring and specialised care.
“Gabby isn’t doing as well as we would have hoped, but the hospital continues to treat her accordingly," Dr Henry-Samuels said, citing Henry's sister, Dr Phylicia Henry-Samuels, who is currently in Thailand with their mother, Maureen Henry.
"We respectfully ask the public and social media users to avoid sharing negative comments, misinformation, or speculation that may cause further distress to the family," the statement added.
