Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner Ken Urker has passed away due to a suspected drug overdose. The couple have a 1-year-old daughter, Aurora Raina. He was found dead in his bed at his house in Raceland, Louisiana, on Thursday, when he was about to turn 34 years old.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says Ken Urker was her 'forever soulmate’

The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Department is investigating the death of Ken Urker. It is not clear what caused his death. According to Blanchard, it might be an accidental overdose, though she cannot tell for sure. “I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” she said. “He was not in a good state of mind lately.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has also mentioned that a substance was found, but she had not seen her father taking any drugs. She has mentioned that she found it difficult to figure out how fast things were happening. “I’m in disbelief. I can’t think,” she said, speaking of his sudden death, “I’ve screamed until my throat burns.”

Gypsy mentioned that Ken was a great dad and that he was not suffering from any addiction issues. She described him as a very loved man who will forever be Gypsy’s forever soulmate.

She further added, “Ken was an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved. He will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance, and even death can never erase.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard also commented on the public scrutiny that Urker was getting. According to her, he was suffering from cyberbullying on social media sites such as TikTok and Reddit.

She said, "The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure.” She felt that the criticism had a strong effect on him. Gypsy also hoped that his death would make people realise that there is always a human being at the end of the screen.

Who is Gypsy Rose Blanchard?
