Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner, Ken Urker, has died at the age of 34, a Louisiana sheriff said.
An investigation into his death is underway. Capt. Brennan Matherne of the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office told CBS News that there are no signs of foul play. TMZ was first to report the news.
According to police records, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's half-brother and his wife, Dylan and Anita Blanchard, went to Urker's home and attempted to gain access to it. After failing to do so, Anita called the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office and requested a wellness check. She said that Urker was in a "dark place," owned a gun and had threatened suicide, according to the records. Officers were dispatched to the home around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday.
Anita told police that Dylan had knocked at the home's door for an hour with no response. Police said Dylan and another person, Justin Daigle, were eventually able to enter the home through an unlocked bedroom window. Daigle said that he touched Urker's body and realized he was cold and not breathing.
When police arrived on the scene, they found Urker dead in his bed. He "appeared to have been there for an extended period of time," police noted, with the report mentioning his face and arms had turned blue.

Rob Lowe and his family are supporting younger brother Chad Lowe and Chad's wife, Kim Painter, following the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona.
"Rob and Chad are very close," a family source told PEOPLE. The source said relatives and friends have gathered around Chad and Kim as they grieve.
Fiona died on Sept. 29. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later listed the manner of her death as suicide.

The family source said the priority now is making sure Chad and Kim have people around them who know and love them.

Canadian heavyweight icon George Chuvalo, potentially the toughest man to ever live, passed this weekend on his 89th birthday after a lengthy battle with dementia.
Chuvalo fought 93 times in 22 years as a professional, sharing the ring with icons like Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Muhammad Ali without ever once hitting the canvas. A multiple-time national champion, he twice challenged for world **** les, falling short against Ernie Terrell in 1965 and the aforementioned Ali a year later. His career highlights include his 1965 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year against Patterson and a 1969 knockout of Jerry Quarry.
Deeply beloved in his home country, Chuvalo suffered unimaginable tragedy in his personal life, losing two children to heroin addiction while both a third and his wife committed suicide. Despite this, he remained by all accounts a delightful and gregarious figure, a prolific anti-drug advocate and namesake of a community center that supports LGBTQ and other youth in his hometown of Toronto.
Sadly, accumulated damage led to Chuvalo developing dementia, for which he received care in the final years of his life.
Though he never won a world **** le or punched his ticket to the Hall of Fame, Chuvalo deserves recognition for both his extraordinary durability and his status as a genuinely good man in a sport that, at times, can feel dishearteningly short on them. Rest easy, George.

Calls to repeal women's rights to vote are emerging from the online firestorm over the Lindsay Clancy trial, prompting Republican women to warn that the intraparty rhetoric could hurt the GOP.
"I think there's definitely a threat in the Republican Party right now," political and legal strategist Mehek Cooke told Fox News Digital.
The online calls to repeal the 19th Amendment come after Clancy's high-profile murder trial ended in a mistrial, with 11 of the 12 jurors favoring a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Clancy admitted to killing her three children, but her defense argued she was not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

During the September 8 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer turned his attention to Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB), examining escalating geopolitical tensions. He commented:
As long as the war with Iran drags on, it's easy to recommend the refiners like a Valero or a Marathon. I don't see it ending any time soon, not with the US and Iran trading volleys this evening at islands and ships in the Strait. But how about a pipeline that moves about 30% of all crude produced in North America? Now, I'm talking about Enbridge which has a 5.5% yield. Also has a natural gas, you know, it transports 20% of the natural gas that's consumed in America. Okay, it's Canadian, but it's not caught up in the tariff fight because slapping tariffs on Canadian energy would be economic suicide for our country.
Cramer's focus on Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) highlights the structural dominance of its midstream network. The company operates as a significant transport network for North American energy, moving approximately 30% of all crude produced on the continent. Moreover, its vast utility and transmission network handles 20% of the natural gas consumed in the United States. The company's toll-road business model generates highly predictable cash flows, supporting an attractive dividend yield of roughly 5.6%. For income-focused investors, the combination of essential operational volume and reliable capital return creates a defensive cushion during volatile market cycles.
The company's defensive moat goes into cross-border trade and regional security. As Cramer pointed out, imposing punitive tariffs on Canadian energy imports would amount to severe economic self-harm for the United States, given the deep interdependence of North American energy grids.
Even with steady toll revenues, Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) carries a heavy debt load that comes with the territory of running massive pipeline networks, with long-term debt sitting at approximately C$104 billion. Because building and maintaining energy infrastructure requires heavy borrowing, higher interest rates hit financing costs, which can occasionally weigh on income-seeking investors.

An audience at a taping of Oprah Winfrey's podcast on Thursday applauded a call to support women like Lindsay Clancy who don't have "her privilege" after Clancy's murder trial ended in a mistrial.
Winfrey's show took place in the wake of Clancy's trial after she admitted to strangling her three children in 2023.
Last week, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her children. Her defense argued that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.

Actress Aubrey Plaza offloaded the Los Angeles property her late spouse Jeff Baena died in by suicide for $4.4 million—nearly one year after she put it on the market for $6.5 million.
Plaza, 42, who is recently gave birth to her first child with partner Christopher Abbott, originally purchased the home for $4.7 million in October 2022, when it became a marital home for the onscreen star and Baena.
However, in January 2025, Baena tragically died by suicide inside the property, and eight months later, Plaza chose to put it on the market, with an asking price of $6.5 million. That ask was lowered to $5.75 million just a few months later.
Still, the actress struggled to find a buyer—with sources telling Realtor.com® at the time that, while the four-bedroom abode had come under offer several times, the deals always fell through before they could officially close.
By May of this year, the property had been removed from the market altogether, before being relisted a few days later, with a new agent—Carl Gambino of The Gambino Group at Compass—and a much lower asking price: $5.3 million.

Katie Meyer's No. 19 will officially be the first jersey number retired in Stanford women's soccer history.
The former standout goalkeeper will be honored during a ceremony before the Cardinal's home match against USC on Thursday. Meyer, who played for Stanford from 2018 to 2021, died by suicide in March 2022. The two-time team captain helped lead the Cardinal to the 2019 national championship.
"Katie was an extraordinary competitor, an exceptional leader and, most importantly, an incredible person who had a profound impact on everyone around her," Stanford women's soccer coach Paul Ratcliffe said in a statement. "She played the game with such passion and courage, and she brought a joy and energy to our program that was uniquely Katie.
"Retiring the No. 19 is a meaningful way for us to honor her legacy and ensure that future generations of Stanford women's soccer players understand the impact she had on this program, this university and the people who had the privilege of knowing her."
According to Stanford athletics, the match against USC will also serve as the school's annual Mental Health Awareness match. The Cardinal will distribute "Mental Health Matters" hats to fans in attendance, and various on-campus organizations will be present to promote mental health awareness and emphasize the importance of supporting people who may be struggling.

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, apologized to the state's Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel's actions in the Middle East.
"My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify," El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at a party convention in Lansing. "To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry. That was not my intention."
El-Sayed's apology was his latest attempt to unify Democrats after a bitter primary where he defeated U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens. He's eager to push past a series of controversies involving allegations of antisemitism, including his ****** ociation with controversial commentator Hasan Piker. He faces Republican nominee Mike Rogers in a race that will help determine control of the Senate.
In March, a man attacked Temple Israel synagogue in a Detroit suburb, ramming his car into the building and opening fire on a security guard before dying by suicide. The man, Ayman Mohammad Ghazali, had lost four relatives in an Israeli airstrike on Lebanon the week prior.
In a video response at the time, El-Sayed condemned the attack and added that "hurt people hurt people," a reference to what happened to Ghazali's family. Critics accused El-Sayed of justifying Ghazali's actions.

The NFL is expanding the mental health resources available to players and their families.
Beginning Sept. 1, NFL players and any family members on their insurance plan will gain access to a network of vetted clinicians in every NFL city. Players can use these resources, in addition to in-house clinicians, without visit limits or coinsurance requirements, NFL vice president of wellness and clinical services Dr. Nyaka NiiLampti told Yahoo Sports.
The network launch comes in the wake of a spring announcement by the league to increase mental health resources in three tiers following the deaths by suicide of Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore last November and February, respectively.
The league announced in March that it was increasing its in-house clinical presence to require teams to staff full-time mental health clinicians, up from the previous requirement that teams staff clinicians at least eight to 12 hours a week as mandated by the NFL-NFLPA collective bargaining agreement. The NFL also has sought to increase efforts to support the mental health of players battling injuries, as Moore had in the years prior to his death. And the NFL and NFLPA partnered with Cigna Healthcare to create this network.
"Historically the sense was that players don't use mental health resources," NiiLampti told Yahoo Sports by phone on Tuesday. "Sports is a microcosm of society. So in the last few years we've seen everybody increase their use of mental health resources and this population is no different. And so we've probably had more difficulties trying to find a provider than we have had people willing to use the resource.

Multiple comedy festivals are reportedly distancing themselves from Reggie Watts following disturbing allegations into his behaviour.
The 2026 lineups for Greenbelt Festival, Shambala Festival and Electric Picnic no longer display his name. Watts had been scheduled to perform at all three events over the weekend of 27 to 30 August.
In addition, the weekly Comedy Bang! Bang! Podcast, hosted by Scott Aukerman, has seemingly dropped its Watts-composed theme song, despite it serving as the intro music since 2011, Rolling Stone reports.
The outlet reported last week that the American comedian, musician and actor had displayed allegedly toxic, controlling and at times abusive behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend Katherine McCollough.
McCollough died by suicide this spring.
The musical comedian faced lengthy accusations from numerous people interviewed by Rolling Stone of him pressuring his former partner into using dangerous substances such as ketamine throughout their romance, which lasted from around May 2024 to October 2025.

The Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast and multiple festivals appear to be distancing themselves from Reggie Watts following a disturbing Rolling Stone report that detailed his allegedly toxic, controlling and at times abusive behavior toward ex-girlfriend Katherine McCollough, who died by suicide this spring after developing an addiction to drugs over the course of their relationship.
The outlet reported Monday (Aug. 24) — four days after the initial investigation was published — that the Watts-composed Comedy Bang! Bang! theme song had been notably absent from the latest episode, despite serving as the intro music since 2011. Instead, Rolling Stone writes that the installment was preceded by "a generic British woman's voice" that simply stated the episode's number.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman wanted in connection with the death of her police officer husband was found dead near a hospital Monday during an intensive law enforcement search that included drones, boats and tracking dogs, authorities said.
Karen Solomon, an advocate who called for improvements and greater awareness of police mental health problems, had disappeared after Kurt Solomon, who served 31 years with Worcester police, was found dead at their home Tuesday morning. Officials had named Karen Solomon a suspect.
"We believe this case is a tragic murder-suicide that occurred," Worcester Police Chief Paul Saucier said at a news conference Monday.
Two people who worked at Fairlawn Rehabilitation Hospital reported finding human remains, and officers recovered a woman's corpse there, Saucier said.
A final ID was still pending, but authorities said they were confident it was Karen Solomon. A handgun recovered at the scene was not a Worcester police service weapon, and investigators were working to determine who owned it.

Reggie Watts' "Comedy Bang Bang" theme song was cut from Monday's episode of the popular podcast following a Rolling Stone report that alleged the comedian and musician has exhibited "reckless and selfish" behavior regarding drugs in his past relationships.
The story, which was published on Thursday, alleges that Watts' late ex-girlfriend, Katherine McCollough, developed a ketamine addiction while dating him (Watts has been a longtime advocate for the drug). Their relationship ended in October 2025 after McCollough experienced a drug-induced manic episode that summer, and in March of this year, McCollough traveled to Peru to take her own life. In a statement to Rolling Stone, Watts' attorney Andrew Brettler called the claims "dangerously false" and said it was a "preconceived narrative" to suggest that he was responsible for her suicide.
Watts — known for starring in the TV version of "Comedy Bang Bang" from 2012 to 2016 before becoming the bandleader for James Corden's "Late Late Show" — penned the theme song for the Scott Aukerman-hosted podcast, which began airing as a radio show in 2009. The song was played before last week's episode on Aug. 17, but is not present in Monday's installment featuring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein of "Portlandia" fame.
Representatives for Watts, "Comedy Bang Bang" and Aukerman did not immediately respond to Variety's request for comment.
In addition to the allegations surrounding McCollough, the Rolling Stone report contains claims from five women who previously dated Watts and allege a pattern of "reckless and selfish" behavior regarding drugs in their relationships. Two women alleged that their relationships with Watts were "emotionally and psychologically abusive."
