The husband of a popular reality show cast member who recently filed for divorce has apparently committed suicide, TMZ.com reports.

Russell Armstrong, 47, the husband of Taylor Armstrong — one of Bravo’s "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" — apparently hanged himself in the bedroom of his Mulholland Drive home, the story reports. He was found by a roommate, and L.A. emergency responders declared Armstrong dead at 8:16 p.m. Monday.

Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce from Russell last month, accusing him of physical abuse. During the first season of the show on Bravo, the couple’s marriage was shown to be strained.
