Gypsy Rose Blanchard, convicted in mother’s murder, reveals cause of Ken Urker’s sudden death at 34, says ‘I’m in disbelief’

Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s partner Ken Urker died at his Louisiana home on his 34th birthday on Thursday, October 1. Gypsy Rose Blanchard has now broken her silence surrounding Ken Urker's death, saying that her partner died from an overdose. “I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” she said. “He was not in a good state of mind lately," reports Page Six. She also mourned the death of her “forever soulmate.” She added that he “will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance, and even death can never erase." Gypsy Rose claimed Ken Urker was harassed online and endured “an unimaginable level of public scrutiny and relentless cyberbullying” about their relationship.

Urker was found unresponsive in his bed at his Raceland, Louisiana, home by a family member Thursday on what would’ve been his 34th birthday, People reported. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating Urker’s death.
