Kristin Cavallari’s missing brother Michael Cavallari has been found dead. ‘The Hills’ and ‘Laguna Beach’ alum’s brother was reported missing three days ago – the reality star was pretty tight-lipped about her brother’s bizarre disappearance. The search began when his car was found abandoned and he seemed to have vanished without a trace. Police in Utah found security footage of Michael at a gas station nearby the location where they found his car, but then the trail went cold. No one has confirmed Michael’s cause of death yet.
Medical examiners in Salt Lake City, Utah have confirmed that Michael’s body was brought in – but no more details are available at this time. Kristin Cavallari shared an official statement confirming the news to E! Online, “We want to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers during this very difficult time. We have just been informed by the authorities my brother’s body has been found. This is a very painful time and we are still processing it all. We kindly ask everyone please respect our privacy during our time of grieving.”
Kristin Cavallari’s brother Michael was never in the forefront of Kristin’s storylines during her reality TV career. As a matter of fact, most fans of her TV shows never even realized she had a sibling until after her rise to fame when he began getting into trouble. Michael had actually been arrested five days before he disappeared in California. An insider close to Kristin’s family dished to E! Online, “Sadly, Kristin’s brother has been getting into trouble for a long time. There’s always been a lot of drama around him.”
It truly is a sad day for the Cavallari Family, and our hearts go out to them. This is not the ending any one likes to see in a missing person story.
