15 Reality TV stars you didn’t know died – This will shock many! (With Pictures)

10. Russell Armstrong – Real Housewives

Introduced to audiences through the reality show, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, he was the husband of Taylor Armstrong. While men don’t have that big of a role on Real Housewives shows, Russell became a pivotal part of the storyline once Taylor revealed he was physically abusive. While their storyline had previously consisted of him providing an ultra lavish lifestyle for her and their daughter, it had become increasingly volatile before his death in 2011. Found hanging in the home they shared together, he committed suicide at the age of 47. Reports indicated he left his family in massive debt, and allegedly there were shady misdealings with some of his business partners.
