"Taylor Armstrong has appealed for privacy following the death of her estranged husband Russell. The reality television star was found dead at his home on Monday evening. The LA coroner&amp;#039;s office has confirmed that he committed suicide. A spokesperson for Taylor said in a statement: &amp;quot;Taylor Armstrong is devastated by the tragic events that have unfolded. She requests privacy at this time so that she may comfort her young daughter. &amp;quot;Her thoughts and prayers are also with Russell&amp;#039;s 11- and 13-year-old sons.&amp;quot; The couple have 5-year-old Kennedy together, while Russell was also father to sons Aiden and Griffin from previous relationships. TMZ has claimed that Taylor was present when her husband&amp;#039;s body was discovered by a roommate at the Mulholland Drive property where he had been staying. Russell&amp;#039;s lawyer Ronald Richards also told the publication that although his client was &amp;quot;disappointed&amp;quot; about ongoing divorce proceedings, he did not think that he was &amp;quot;displaying any signs whatsoever of something that would cause him to take his own life&amp;quot;. Richards added that he had last spoken to Russell &amp;quot;in the last couple of days&amp;quot;. Bravo, the network behind Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, expressed its condolences in a short statement on Tuesday evening, saying that its staff were &amp;quot;deeply saddened by this tragic news&amp;quot;.
