What Ken Urker Told Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Brother Night Before Death

“Dylan Blanchard was able to gain access to Mr. Urker’s bedroom window, due to it being unlocked,” the doc stated, “and was able to see Mr. Urker lying on his bed unconscious. Once they realized Mr. Urker was not answering, Mr. Blanchard and Justin Daigle moved the blinds and made entry through the window and located Mr. Urker in his bed, cold to the touch.”

Justin told police that Ken “was cold and not breathing.”

When Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived, they found Ken lying on his back in bed, saying he “appeared to have been there for an extended period of time.”

Authorities discovered drug paraphernalia, including syringes and a spoon, in the bathroom “next to a brown powdery substance.”

“He had a paper towel placed on his left arm with what appeared to be blotches of blood on the paper towel,” the Sergeant continued. “The handgun on the night stand was holstered laying next to two shot glasses and a syringe. Nothing else inside of the bedroom appeared to be disturbed or moved.”

While Ken’s official cause of death has not been revealed, the Sheriff’s Office listed the incident as an “overdose.”

Gypsy—who shared daughter Aurora, 21 months, with Ken—also said he had overdosed before dying on his 34th birthday. 

“I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” the Life After Lockup star told People. “He was not in a good state of mind lately.”

“I’m in disbelief. I can’t think,” she added. “I’ve screamed until my throat burns.”
