Urker was found unresponsive at his home on October 1st, the day he turned 34. Police responded to a wellness check after family members reported concerns about his mental state and discovered him deceased in his bed with drug paraphernalia nearby. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office has not yet determined the cause of death but reports no signs of foul play.
Blanchard believes that cyberbullying played a significant role in Urker’s mental health decline leading up to his death. She shared on Instagram that she texted him on the day he died to wish him a happy birthday, but never received a reply. Blanchard has also advocated for stricter online harassment laws, naming her proposed legislation 'Kenan's Law' after Urker.
The relationship between Blanchard and Urker began while she was serving time in prison for her role in the murder of her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. They had an on-again, off-again relationship before finally reconciling in 2024. Despite past tensions with some family members, most of Urker's relatives maintain a good relationship with Blanchard and do not suspect her involvement in his death.
