Condolences to the Cavallari family. The brother of Kristin Cavallari, Michael Cavallari, was found dead today three days after he went missing, E! News reports.
Press reports indicate that the body was found after Michael’s 2014 Honda Civic was discovered abandoned on I-70 in Utah.
“We want to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers during this very difficult time,” Cavallari said in a statement to E! News. “We have just been informed by the authorities my brother’s body has been found. This is a very painful time and we are still processing it all. We kindly ask everyone please respect our privacy during our time of grieving.”
Cavallari just experienced some joy with her husband Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler as they welcomed the birth of their third child, and first daughter, Saylor James. Now, they, their parents and other sibling Gabriel are dealing with such tragic news.
“I appreciate all the concern, thoughts, and prayers that have been extended to me and my family. We remain hopeful and I will share any news that we receive. I have such gratitude for all those that have shared their support,” she captioned a childhood photo on Instagram of her with her brother seaside.
She posted another tender photo from when the two were babies.
