KTLA Anchor Chris Burrous’s Cause of Death: Tragic Secret Life Led to Gruesome End for Popular Personality

Share

The cause of death has been revealed for KTLA anchor Chris Burrous. It’s a gruesome story about a tragic death and a sordid secret life.

A couple of weeks ago I heard from a source how Burrous died and how he was found. It was so awful I couldn’t bring myself to write it. Now, however,it’s all come out.

The cause of death was methamphetamine toxicity. Other contributing factors included hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This is a meth overdose.

But the situation was sexual, and it was pretty horrible. Could it have been a surprise to his wife or co-workers? Burrous was found in a Days Inn motel after a fairly awful hook up with either a drug dealer or male hooker or combination. More graphic details can be found at TheBlast.com. I am not repeating it here.

The tragedy is that Burrous– who seemed happy go lucky, always “up,” a nice family guys — lived this again horrible secret life in pain and misery. It’s just mind blowing. Now we see why his family raced to raise money on gofundme before the truth got out. They knew there might be a problem with life insurance or other payouts.

I knew there was a “cover up” going on, but no people should suffer this way.
