Joey Kovar Dead: But How Did He Die?

20 August 2012
Joey Kovar, the reality TV star who featured on such unforgettable shows such as Real World: Hollywood and Celebrity Rehab 3, died on Friday morning near his home in Chicago (August 17, 2012). Following his autopsy the cause of death has yet to be discovered, with police believed to be waiting on toxicological test results.

The reality star was found in an apartment building not belonging to him just before 9 a.m. on Friday (August 17th). Chicago Ridge police and paramedics arrived at the South Sayre Avenue to find the 29-year-old dead, with no clues as to how he died in the immediate vicinity. The police are not suspecting foul play to be at the cause of the death, but it is believed that they will not to be ruling it out as a possible cause. Kovar had been known for his partying nonchalance in front of and behind the camera, however the former personal trainer and bodybuilder was said to have been sober for some time by his family, who do not believe that a drugs overdose is at the root of his demise.

His brother, David Kovar, has recently blasted celebrity gossip site Tmz for reporting that his family suspected Joey died from a drug overdose. David told reporters, "That is not what anyone is suspecting, my brother was doing very well," adding, "Everything was going very well. The very, very last thing that our family is suspecting is drugs."
