Brayden Bower revealed to have 'almost died' in boat accident

Towards the end of 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9, ABC gave an update about Brayden and Aaron Schwartzman's life saying they "almost died" in a boat accident.

They met in a terrifying boat accident off the coast of San Diego. Fortunately, nothing happened to either of them and were safely rescued by a boat.

After becoming friends on the show, Aaron and Brayden went out for fishing on Aaron's boat. One of their friends got his line stuck on the engine propeller. This therefore sank the boat 17 miles off the coast.

He then dated Rachel Recchia for a while. But, she later self-eliminated herself after not being able to decide who to date.

This left Brayden all alone. Indeed, he self-eliminated himself and walked out of paradise alone.
