Gypsy Rose Blanchard's fiancé, Ken Urker, started an eerie live stream just hours before his sudden death.
As previously reported by OK!, Urker was found unresponsive in bed at his home in Louisiana on October 1 by Blanchard's brother, Dylan, and his wife after he did not reply to Gypsy's texts wishing him a happy birthday.
Ken Urker did not speak during the eerie TikTok live.
In the nearly 4-minute TikTok live, Ken appeared to be traveling somewhere in a vehicle on the night of September 30.
The silent, cryptic livestream ended abruptly, with some speculating it could have been an accident.
A recording of Ken Urker's livestream has been reposted to TikTok.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Claimed Ken Urker Died of an Overdose
Gypsy Rose Blanchard confessed Ken Urker 'was not in a good state of mind' before he passed.
A spokesperson for the Lafourche Sheriff's Office confirmed Ken's death, saying in a statement, "We were notified about this at 6:15 p.m. CDT and responded. He was found dead upon arrival. At this time, we are continuing the death investigation."
Ken's official cause of death has not been released publicly as the investigation remains ongoing; however, Gypsy claimed in her own statement that she believes her longtime partner died of an overdose.
Even though she had never seen Ken use drugs, Gypsy, who shares a 1-year-old daughter with Ken, told TMZ an unnamed substance was found at the scene.
"I’m in disbelief. I can’t think," she said in her statement. "I’ve screamed until my throat burns."
"I don’t know if it was intentional or not," Gypsy shared. "He was not in a good state of mind lately."

In a statement shared to her Instagram, Gypsy shared that Ken had faced intense harassment online.
"Ken endured an unimaginable level of public scrutiny and relentless cyberbullying across social media platforms, including TikTok and Reddit," she said. "The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure."
