Pageant queen Brynn Carnesecca has died by suicide aged 21 just weeks before her next competition. Brynn, from Utah, was crowned Miss American Fork - a regional pageant as part of a wider state competition - in 2024 and Miss Congeniality in the Miss Utah pageant in 2025. She was set to next compete during the Miss Provo competition on August 22, according to her Instagram bio. The Miss American Fork organization put out a statement on Instagram to honor Brynn. 'You left the biggest shoes to fill for every Miss American Fork who comes after you.'
