On the day of his death, TMZ reports, she even sent him a sweet voicemail wishing him a happy birthday and suggesting a FaceTime call for their daughter Aurora one could wish him too. He sent around 2pm, and it is believed he listened to the message but never responded. His body was found a few hours later.
Police report obtained by A century every week says officers found Ken dead in his bed at a residence in Louisiana.
“His face and arms were blue. He had a paper towel on his left arm and blood blotches on the paper towel.”
Near him in the bedroom they saw a syringe, two shot glasses, and a gun. In the bathroom was a “brown powdery substance” and other drug paraphernalia.
He hadn’t shown up for work that day, and so had Gypsy Rose’s sister-in-law Anita Blanchard called 911 for a welfare check. She said he was “in a dark place” and noted that he admitted to being “depressed” in church the night before.
Gypsy Rose shared a tribute post to him Instagram on Friday, writing a carousel of photos:
“You are my greatest love story forever. You will always be remembered and loved.”
Just heart breaking. May he rest in peace.
