'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Russell Armstrong, the estranged husband and Bravo TV castmate of Taylor Armstrong, was found dead of an apparent suicide, hanging in a bedroom in his friend's house on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. No suicide note has turned up so far but Russell Armstrong had been facing serious financial problems and media backlash from claims his wife Taylor Armstrong made saying that he physically abused her. Their marital problems were very evident during the first season of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' and Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce last month.
Russell's lawyer, Ronald Richards, says he was blindsided by the suicidal death and adds that he cautioned Russell Armstrong about joining the Bravo TV reality show because of the marital stress it could cause.
