The estranged husband of 'Real Housewives' star Taylor Armstrong has committed suicide, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Russell Armstrong, 47, was found hanged in the bedroom of a friends home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.
"He hung himself with no suicide note found," Ed Winter of the L.A Coroner’s Office told Breaking Celebrity News.
He was pronounced dead at 8.16 pm on Monday by the L.A City Fire Department.
While no further details have been released, the couple hit headlines last month when Taylor filed for divorce claiming Russell had physically abused her.
