Lisa Vanderpump of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is now headed to the UK after the death of her brother Mark. Daily Mail shared the details today about what happened to 59-year-old Mark Vanderpump, who worked as a DJ. He was found on April 30, but for some reason, it is just now being reported. It sounds like Lisa has known, but is just now headed to the UK for his funeral.
Details of his death
Mark was found dead in what appears to be an overdose. At this time, they do not seem to know if it was accidental or on purpose. There is not very much information out at all at this time and they may be trying to keep it private while it is investigated.
Lisa Vanderpump and her brother actually went on vacation a lot together and were very close. Mark has been seen in the USA at her restaurants several times. He did have a few legal problems and was married for 22 years before it ended in a divorce. His death comes as a shock to Lisa.
Lisa heads to the funeral
Sources say that Lisa Vanderpump is devasted and heading to the UK for his funeral. Lisa is worried about her two nephews and has actually been staying out of the public eye since his death. She is going to be there for her nephews, who are said to be young, but the exact age hasn't been shared. Since he is divorced, hopefully, their mother is still around to help take care of them as well during this rough time in their life.
It sounds like Lisa is close to her family.
Lisa Vanderpump did release a statement and it turns out she spoke to her brother just one day before he passed away. It sounds like they were still close at the time of his death. She shared saying, "This has come as a shock to us all. My brother and I had connected the day before this tragedy and I was completely unprepared for this.‘He was my only sibling and I am shocked and saddened by his passing.
I am trying to be supportive to his two young sons that he has left behind, and help them get through this tragedy. ‘We appreciate your consideration in this private and extremely difficult family time.’" It sounds like she is doing the right thing and going to help her family out.
Don't miss watching Lisa Vanderpump on the "Vanderpump Rules" reunion when it airs the second part next Monday night on Bravo.
You can also catch her when "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" returns to Bravo. It doesn't sound like they are filming at this time for either show, so there is no reason that any of Lisa's brother's death should end up on the series.
