Amber Siyavus, a contestant on Season 8 of the reality competition series "Big Brother," died on Friday. She was 46.
TMZ reported Siyavus's death on Monday, noting that her cause and manner of death have not yet been disclosed. Siyavus was known on the show, which aired in 2007, for being the only houseguest to reach the jury phase without winning Head of Household or the Power of Veto. Her emotional moments earned her the nickname “Whamber.”
During her time on the show, Siyavus developed bonds with castmates Jameka Cameron and Dustin Erikstrup, ultimately finishing in seventh place.
Years after her appearance on "Big Brother," Siyavus made headlines following the tragic death of her 18-year-old daughter, Lexi Tomcavage, who died by suicide.
