TMZ looked into Princess’ passing, reporting that he was found dead in a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, sober house on Aug. 30. The ABC reality TV personality’s official cause of death is unclear, as a toxicology report is pending. Authorities do not suspect foul play.
Princess appeared on Wife Swapin 2013 (Season 7, Episode 1 “Kuncaitis/Zdazinsky”). He traveled to a Michigan farm with a host family that lashed out at him with homophobia.
Zdazinsky called Princess’ passing the “saddest moment” of her life. She believes he was sober at the time of his passing and claimed he “found God in his end days.”
“We will miss him so much,” she wrote.
