Clint Arlis Cause of Death Finally Revealed After 2 Months: Was Foul Play Involved?
Exactly two months after he was found dead in a private residence, "The Bachelorette" alum Clint Arlis' tragic cause of death has been finally unveiled to the public; how did he die, and was there foul play involved?
According to a coroner's investigation report obtained by Page Six, the reality star passed away by suicide at the age of 34. Arlis also reportedly left a suicide note on his dresser before taking his life by hanging himself.
Per People Magazine, the TV star, who planned to visit a campus for a workout routine the morning of his passing, had been fighting paranoia and believed people were watching him throughout his relationship woes with his girlfriend.
Arlis' parents thought everything was fine with their son, but he kept his struggles away from them moving into their home.
When an investigation started in January about his death, authorities have confirmed that there was no foul play involved.
