’90 Day Fiancé’ Star David Murphey Dies Just a Month After His Birthday – Details ( Photo & Video)

In their post, the family disclosed that he had died at home on December 11, 2024, following years of health struggles. Sources revealed that Murphey had been diagnosed with liver cancer more than a year ago, which had significantly impacted his health.

Additionally, he faced other medical challenges, although the exact cause of his death remains unclear. Insiders reported that the reality star underwent over 13 surgeries in 2023 and was preparing for another procedure before he passed away.

Despite his declining health, Murphey continued visiting family and friends during the week leading up to his death. However, sources described him as “very frail and unwell.” By then, he had lost significant weight and frequently complained of feeling unwell.

The television personality was candid about his health challenges, as seen in an Instagram post from March 2023. In the video clip, he admitted that he hadn’t posted in months due to his ongoing medical issues.

He explained that he remained in Las Vegas because it was where he could access his medical care. The television personality shared that he had been in and out of the hospital for three months at that point.

Speaking in the video, Murphey said, “My liver’s not working right. I think right now I’m finally getting a little bit of color back.” He also shared, “I turned bright yellow after the second [gall] stone hit, and I’ve been trying to make it go away.”

The star explained that his gall bladder “has to come out,” but doctors were hesitant to perform the surgery until his liver function improved. He even canceled a procedure and rescheduled it because the hospital required him to arrive at 5 a.m. with an adult who could accompany him home afterward.

The reality star admitted that he didn’t have local friends who could help him in that way anymore. Murphey also mentioned receiving two COVID-19 vaccines, partly because he couldn’t film the reality show without them. He revealed additional health concerns with his pancreas and kidneys.

At that time, doctors were unsure if he had cancer. His health issues forced him to cancel trips, including one to Europe. The only medication he was taking was blood thinners for two blood clots in his lungs.

According to his Facebook account, Murphey passed away just one month after celebrating his birthday on November 11, 2024. The star, who had appeared in various “90 Day” franchise shows since 2020, first experimented with Instagram in February 2020, posting a photo of himself with his cat.

On “90 Day Fiancé: B90 Strikes Back!” Murphey believed he had found love when he proposed to a Ukrainian woman named Lana. He went down on one knee at the airport before leaving Ukraine to return to the US.
