Ken Urker attended church with members of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's family before he died.

"Of course you went to TMZ that you texted him 'happy birthday' and didn't get a response," Autumn added. "You ain't been getting a response."

Autumn spoke with her brother the evening before he passed away, telling her audience that he had become emotional that night while attending church.

"They were all at church last night, and Ken was emotional, and they had dinner or something planned today, and they went over there and found him,” she shared.

“He said he was going home to go to sleep and he had work in the morning," she continued. "So, I don’t know. This is why they say, ‘Sticks and Stones,’ because words can absolutely kill you."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard released a statement following his death.

Gypsy released a statement shortly after his death, revealing that Ken was "not in a good state of mind" before he passed.

"Ken endured an unimaginable level of public scrutiny and relentless cyberbullying across social media platforms, including TikTok and Reddit. The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure,” she shared. “I believe the tremendous weight of that scrutiny and harassment had a profound impact on him, and I hope his passing serves as a reminder that there is a real person behind every screen, every headline, and every comment.”

"Above all, Ken loved our daughter, Aurora. She is a beautiful reflection of his enduring spirit, and through her, a part of him will always remain with us,” Gypsy concluded. “I will make sure she grows up knowing how deeply her father loved her and who he was beyond what strangers on the internet chose to say about him."
