Ken Urker Found Dead at His Louisiana Home on What Would Have Been His 34th Birthday — Gypsy Rose Blanchard Responds
According to the outlet’s sources, Blanchard had sent Urker a “Happy Birthday” text but received no response. Blanchard’s brother, Dylan, later made the shocking discovery of Urker inside the home, the sources said. Authorities had not announced an official cause or manner of death.
But the mystery surrounding Urker’s death was only one part of the rapidly unfolding story. Within hours, his sister publicly addressed what she claimed had been happening between her brother and Blanchard before he died.
His Sister Says They Had Already Split
Autumn appeared on TikTok Live just hours after Urker’s death, answering questions as viewers flooded the comments with condolences.
According to Autumn, Urker and Blanchard were no longer together when he died. “They’ve been split up,” she said, according to Parade.
It was a stark claim about a relationship already defined by breakups and reunions — and one that would contrast sharply with some of the emotional language Blanchard later used to describe Urker.

Autumn then leveled another explosive allegation, accusing Blanchard of being responsible for news of Urker’s death reaching TMZ.
“See, this is why I came on here, because I knew that b—h would go to TMZ. You cold-bloodedly murdered your mother for d–k. You are a vile human being. You’re sick in the head…” Autumn said.
The supplied sources do not establish that Blanchard was the person who gave TMZ the information, and Autumn did not provide evidence for the accusation in her quoted remarks.
She also took direct aim at TMZ’s report that Blanchard had texted Urker on what would have been his 34th birthday.
