Fans of *Big Brother* are mourning the death of Amber Siyavus, one of the most memorable contestants from the reality show’s eighth season.

Siyavus died on Friday, October 9, in Clark County, Nevada, according to records from the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner.

She was 46 years old.

Her cause and manner of death have not yet been determined and remain under investigation.

For viewers who watched *Big Brother 8* in 2007, Amber quickly became one of the season’s most recognizable personalities.

She spent more than 60 days inside the house and eventually finished in seventh place.

Known for wearing her emotions openly, Amber frequently cried during difficult moments and eventually became known to fans by the nickname “Whamber.”

But behind the nickname was a contestant who formed genuine connections with several of her fellow houseguests.

She became especially close with Dustin Erikstrup and Jameka Cameron, relationships that helped define much of her time in the house.

Amber also spoke often about her daughter, Lexi Tomcavage, while appearing on the show.
