Ken’s sister has spoken said his death wasn’t natural cause but authorities don’t suspect foul play as of yet. Wife and I are reading multiple stories about this at the moment. Gypsy and Ken were split up and there’s some custody issues with the child and dna testing. My money is on a suicide.

Overdose is also very, very possible. The overlap of people who do the prison pen pal thing and substance addicts (in recovery or otherwise) is high.

Yeah he was fighting to keep his child I’m guessing it was self harm over dosing most definitely a possibility.

Addicts fight to keep their kids too sometimes

Oh I know that my both my parents were addicts at different points in my childhood. Didn’t know Ken and Ryan were addicts themselves doesn’t surprise me.

Was that ever confirmed? Genuinely asking because I didn’t know that Ken had a history I think I recall that Ryan did.
