Ken Urker, the partner of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, has died at the age of 34, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana. Deputies found Urker deceased at a residence in Raceland, and an investigation into his death is ongoing. Urker, who had just turned 34, was reportedly a victim of cyberbullying and was not in a good state of mind, according to Blanchard. The couple, who share a young daughter named Aurora, connected while Blanchard was serving a prison sentence for her involvement in the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison in 2023 after serving seven years, expressed her shock and disbelief over Urker’s death, which she attributed to an overdose. The cause of death has not been officially confirmed by authorities.
