'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Premiere Date, News: Russell Armstrong's Father Claims Son Was Murdered
It has been three years since "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Russell Armstrong died from suicide, but his father, Louie, claims that his son didn't take his own life, but was murdered.
According to TMZ, Louie and the rest of his family hired a private investigator to look into the suicide because they were convinced that he was killed. He is reportedly asking the L.A. County Coroner's office to hand over Armstrong's autopsy pictures so that he can have his own forensic specialist analyze it.
However, it looks as if Louie is not getting any help from the county coroner's office, nor is he getting any assistance from Armstrong's widow, Taylor. The website reports that Taylor might have a better chance of getting the autopsy report from the coroner's office because she was listed as the deceased's next of kin.

As of the moment, Taylor has not released a statement regarding Louie's claims.
During Taylor's marriage to Armstrong, other cast members of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" brought to light the couple's alleged money troubles and claims of spousal abuse. In 2011, Taylor filed for divorce and accused her husband of domestic violence. It was during their separation that Armstrong took his own life and was found by his landlord and Taylor on Aug. 15, 2011.
Several members of Armstrong's family denied Taylor's claim of abuse, but the reality star stood by her statement and said that she had to have a titanium mesh implant to hold up her right eye, which was allegedly damaged as a result of Russell's abuse.
Taylor is now married to John Bluher. The pair started dating in 2012 and wed on April 4, 2014.
