Tyler Duckworth, a two-time champion of MTV's reality series The Challenge, has died at 44, his mother announced on social media Thursday. His cause of death is pending an autopsy and toxicology report, police say.
Foul play is reportedly not suspected in Duckworth's death, although the investigation is still ongoing. Police found Duckworth in his bathroom Tuesday, according to People, after a neighbor called about water leaking from the reality star's apartment through their ceiling.
"My son, Tyler, passed away earlier this week," Tyler's mother, Joni Duckworth, wrote on Facebook. "I will post on Facebook about services as soon as his dad and I figure it out."
Duckworth's death comes less than a month after he appeared at an alumni event for The
Challenge alongside fellow competitors Rachel Robinson, Brad Fiorenza, Tina Barta, Paul Califiore and Mark Long. That was his last known public appearance, according to Variety.
Here's what we know about Duckworth.
