The reason behind Josh’s exit
During the latest episode of Love Island USA Season 3, Josh was informed that his sister had passed away.
The contestant had no choice but to walk out of the show after losing a close member of his family. Being the ideal partner that she is to Josh, Shannon also chose to leave the show.
While the islanders had a ball of a time in the pajama party from the previous night, they woke up to see Shannon and Josh’s empty bed. The duo let the fellow contestants know that they were leaving the show and it was a difficult decision to make.

What we know about Lindsey Beth
Josh shared a close bond with his sister Lindsey Beth. Once, Josh even said he only came to the show because of his sister. The Islander has shared a couple of pictures with Lindsey on his personal Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Lindsey’s Instagram account is set on private. There isn’t much information available about her personal and neither did Josh share any details regarding his sister’s demise.
In 2018, Josh posted a picture with Lindsey wishing her a happy birthday and the caption read, “Congrats for being a quarter century dead….much love for u sis”. Going by what he has written, we can assume Lindsey was in her later 20s.
The most recent picture of Josh with his sister is from 2019, where the siblings are seen alongside their mother. He wrote in the caption of the lovely picture, “Happy whatever we celebrate”.
