According to MUO, Henry is under 24-hour specialist supervision and will go back to Jamaica “in the coming days.”

Henry will be “accompanied by a full medical escort team and will be transferred directly to (the) hospital for continued treatment and recovery,” the organization said.

Miss Jamaica rushed to the hospital

A video of Henry falling during the evening gown section circulated online.

She can be seen standing in front of the audience, modeling an evening gown, before appearing to walk away and fall off the stage. Additional footage shared to social media appears to show Henry being removed on a stretcher.

After the incident, Henry was taken to a hospital in Rangsit, just north of Bangkok, according to a statement from officials with the Miss Universe Jamaica Organization.

Henry, a junior resident at the University Hospital of the West Indies, had expressed excitement for the final rounds on Instagram just before the incident.

“It is crazy to imagine that just a few weeks ago I was preparing for the Miss Universe stage, and now I’m here!” She wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “All the emotions, the rush of excitement, the joy, reside right here with me as I prepare to represent my beloved country.”
