Sad news about Frankie Grande's grandfather

There is sad news to report today. Last night Frankie lost his grandfather. 

I have no information yet regarding how or when Frankie will be informed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Frankie and his family at this difficult time.

We have heard Frankie speak very lovingly and admiringly about his grandfather.  Just the other day he was telling how important his grandfather is in his life. He explained how much of his life today and the opportunities and successes he has had have been a result of his grandfather's involvement in his life.  He said he'd not have had the opportunities he has without the love and support of his grandparents from childhood on.

I'm sure this will be very devastating news for Frankie and can't imagine that it wouldn't take him off of the show.  When his grandfather became very ill recently it seems that the family chose to not have Frankie informed.  I feel so sorry for him knowing his last chances to speak and be with his grandfather were taken from him like that.  I can't imagine that they'd take his chance to pay his respects away too.

UPDATE:  According to an article on TMZ, CBS will NOT be informing Frankie about his grandfather's passing.  Based on the Big Brother Live Feeds, this information is accurate.  I'll say I am more than shocked and saddened at the way this is being handled, and keep the rest of my opinions about this to myself.  

Just moments ago I heard Frankie saying to Brittany that he wondered if his sister, mother and grandparents were in LA together watching and "hanging out" until the finale.   He obviously felt his grandfather was in good enough shape to have traveled like that...
