Do we know ’90 Day Fiance’ star David Murphey’s cause of death?

David Murphey, a beloved star from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, passed away on December 11, 2024, at the age of 66. His family announced the heartbreaking news a week later, revealing that David had been battling health issues for several years. Fans of the show, who fondly remember his journey with Lana, a Ukrainian woman he had been in a long-distance relationship with for eight years, are mourning his loss. Despite their eventual split due to differing life goals, David remained a fan favorite due to his dedication to finding love and his quirky personality.

David’s health struggles were made public in late 2022 when he shared a video on Instagram explaining his absence from social media. He revealed that he had been experiencing severe shortness of breath, initially mistaking it for a heart attack. Upon seeking medical attention, doctors discovered he had two blood clots in his lungs, a potentially life-threatening condition that required immediate treatment. Shortly after, he also underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder. In March 2023, David shared another update, mentioning liver issues and frequent hospitalizations, which left him feeling weak and fatigued. Despite his health challenges, David continued to stay connected with fans but stopped posting updates after March 2023.

While the exact cause of his death has not been disclosed, his family confirmed that his passing was due to ongoing health issues, likely related to his previous conditions. In his memory, they have encouraged donations to The Animal Foundation, honoring David’s deep love for animals, particularly his many cats. His passing has left a lasting impact on the 90 Day Fiancé community, where he will be remembered not just for his reality TV appearance but for his kind-hearted and passionate nature.
