Former ‘Bachelorette’ Contestant Found Dead

The father of a contestant on “The Bachelorette” reality TV show says his son’s body has been found along a scenic Southern California highway.

KGTV in San Diego says 35-year-old Julien Hug’s father Bertrand Hug confirmed the body was found Wednesday.

Riverside County authorities won’t confirm the identity or whether they suspect foul play. An autopsy is scheduled Thursday.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Borja says a body was found in the remote Pinyon Pines area off State Route 74. The area is about 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Julien Hug was a contestant on the ABC show in May 2009.
