Aaron Armstrong, Boyfriend of Sophie Gradon, Found Dead 3 Weeks After Reality Star Dies

Tragedy has once again struck the world of reality television.


Aaron Armstrong, the boyfriend of late Love Island cast member Sophie Gradon, was found dead this week at a property on Furnace Road in Bebside, Blyth.



According to the BBC, Armstrong passed away on Tuesday, mere hours after sharing an emotional social media post about Gradon.


“just wish I could cuddle you all day miss you so much,” read Armstrong’s caption to the following Instagram image.


“Sophie not a minute goes by with out your gorgeous smile being a picture in my mind everyday we spent together was so amazing I need them days back.


“I love you princess.”


Based on this message, and based on no third party being involved, per a Northumbria Police spokesperson, many believe that Armstrong took his own life.

No cause of death has been confirmed, however.


It’s important to note that suicide is a mere speculation right now.


After Gradon’s funeral five days ago, Armstrong posted a picture of the order of service with a caption that read:


“I love you with all my heart my beautiful angel I’m absolutely heartbroken I can’t stop crying.”


Gradon, 32, a former Miss Great Britain, was found dead at her family house on June 20.


She was well known in Great Britain for her 2016 appearance on Love Island, a program that features several single people dropped onto an island and tasked with finding love.


Many associated with the series reacted to this stunning and sad news as follows:

And Rykard Jenkins added:


“So sad to now hear about Aaron’s passing. May you both rest in paradise.”


The day after Sophie died, meanwhile, Armstrong posted the following selfie on Facebook and wrote along with it:


“I will never forget that smile I love you so so much baby your my world forever ever and always.”

Antonio Armstrong, Former NFL Linebacker, Killed by Son

An unspeakable tragedy has struck the world of professional sports.


Antonio Armstrong, a former linebacker for the Miami Dolphins was shot and killed along with his wife in Houston, Texas.



Police have confirmed that the main suspect in the crime is the couple’s 16-year old son.


The young man’s name has not been released to the public due to his age, he has been charged with murder as a juvenile and is being questioned by authorities.


According to a local NBC affiliate, the 42-year old Armstrong and his wife, Dawn, were found at approximately 2 a.m. after police responded to a 911 call.


Dawn was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.


The ex-NFL player was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital and listed in critical condition… but later passed away from a gunshot wound to the head.


The couple’s two other kids were at home at the time of the incident, but were unharmed.


Those familiar with the family are attempting to come to grips with how this could have happened.




Antonio Armstrong, Wife



“This was an outstanding family. The male of the family was an absolute hard-working breadwinner,” local homicide lnvestigator Jimmy Dodson said, via KPRC.


“He was an associate pastor in the area church. He’s a great guy. The mother was apparently a great mother, according to family members.


“Like I said, it was kind of the all-American family.”


Investigators who searched the southwest Houston residence discovered a still-smoking gun with a note next to it that reads “I’ve been watching you.”


Police then arrested the 16-year-old boy.


“There was nothing left out. There was no neglect or anything. There was nothing that even could possibly have justified this situation,” Dawn Armstrong’s cousin, Vaun Lee, told reporters.


“This doesn’t even make sense. It makes no sense.”


Prior to turning professional, Armstrong was a college football star at Texas A&M, where he played for the Aggies from 1991 to 1994.


The university released the following message on Twitter soon after the horrible news broke:

Armstrong was named first-team Associated Press All-America linebacker in 1994 and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.


He was released that October after suffering an ankle injury and signed with the Dolphins, with whom he recorded four solo tackles his room season.


“Antonio was a special young man. He was an All-American and an outstanding player, but he was an even better person,” his former head coach at A&M, R.C. Slocum, said in a statement.


“He was such a positive influence on his teammates. He always had a great big smile and was a joy to coach.”


The Dolphins said via statement that they were “saddened by the tragic” deaths, adding:


“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.”


A GoFundMe page, meanwhile, has been created to help the family in the aftermath of the shooting; thus far, it has raised over $ 53,000.


“Let’s rally around this family and show them how much we loved Dawn and Antonio, and that we will miss them and their big hearts dearly,” the page reads.

Yolanda Foster: Taylor Armstrong is IGNORANT!!!

We knew that last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was going to be a doozy, but this one especially stunk of OC‘s cancer storyline.



In other words, it was a little disgusting.


For some reason, Vanderpump invited Taylor Armstrong to Ken’s 70th birthday.  There, Taylor decided that half a cocktail was enough liquid courage to allow her to speak about Yolanda’s “happy selfie, sickie selfie” Instagrams.


Oh, gurl.  


“Happy selfie, sick selfie…that’s exactly right,” Yolanda wrote on her Bravo blog.  “Every day is different, and I will not use my social media to convey anything but my truth.


“Bad days do exist in Beverly Hills, even though no one seems to dare share.”


Yolanda has to sit and watch these women cast doubt on her health, making the search for a cure that much harder. 


It’s all well and good to say “ignore the haters,” but negativity affects one’s health more than any of us realize.


What I saw on the show tonight was just that: IGNORANCE,” Yolanda continued.


“Maybe it should anger me, but instead it makes me want to fight harder and speak louder for those whose voices can’t be heard. Those of you who have experienced chronic illness, you know what I’m talking about.


“What defines suffering? You will never hear someone who’s walked in my shoes speak the way Taylor spoke on tonight’s episode. I truly hope she never has to experience the journey she questions me for sharing.”


Taylor defended herself after the fact.


“It’s normal when you are catching up with friends to ask how other friends are doing, especially when someone has been ill,” Taylor told Bravo.


“I was surprised to learn that she wasn’t feeling better after all this time and all the intensive treatments she has gone through.


“When I started asking about her health, the ladies acted as if it was taboo to talk about it, which I found odd considering Yolanda has been very public about her health issues. 


“Learning that she was still suffering badly made me think again that perhaps she should get another opinion. I was asking if she had done so or if she was only focused on the Lyme disease path.


“I know that she is ill. I was not questioning that, and I wasn’t questioning Yolanda. I was merely suggesting that since all the Lyme disease treatments were not helping her, maybe she and her doctors should consider other possibilities.”


And there you have it.  Another country heard from.
