The reality TV star was present when her husband’s body was discovered yesterday.

Taylor became increasingly alarmed and began frantically texting and phoning Russell, to no avail.

On Monday evening, Taylor and a friend went to the home where Russell was staying. They found the owner of the home on the property. While Taylor watched, the owner peered through Russell’s bedroom window and saw his lifeless body hanging. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
