Jason Hitch, a former cast member of TLC reality series “90 Day Fiancé,” died this week at the age of 45, TLC confirmed on Thursday.
Hitch’s death was first reported by TMZ, who said Hitch’s sister Shannon informed them of his death.
He died Tuesday in a Florida ICU ward following complications from COVID-19, she told the outlet.
He was not vaccinated, his sister told TMZ.
Hitch, an Army veteran, starred in the second season of TLC’s popular reality series, where he married Cassia Taraves. Taraves came to the U.S. from Brazil, and eventually moved to Hitch’s residence in Spring Hill, Florida.
