TMZ is reporting that Joey Kovar — the troubled “Real World” star who appeared on “Celebrity Rehab” — was found dead at a friend’s home near Chicago this morning … and family members believe drugs are to blame.
Kovar was 29 years old.
According to TMZ Joey was discovered by a female friend early this morning who noticed blood coming out of Joey’s ears and nose.
The woman called 911 … and authorities rushed to the scene where he was pronounced dead.
Sad to hear this. He was an attractive young man who had a lot of life ahead of him. Last year he posed for a successful photo shoot for Playgirl. Very sad.
