Amber-Lee Friis, the beauty queen who went on to become a finalist in the Miss Universe New Zealand pageant, died on Monday. She was 23.
The CEO of Miss World New Zealand, Nigel Godfrey, confirmed Friis' passing in a Facebook tribute post on Tuesday.
"The world is a lesser place without her in it," Godfrey wrote. "She had a great deal more to give and it is a dreadful tragedy that she won't be here to realise her unlimited potential. RIP Amber Lee you have left us far, far too soon."
Godfrey recalled what made Friis so special, calling her a "force to be reckoned with."
The New Zealand Police confirmed to People that they responded to a sudden death call on May 18, which was referred to the coroner.
