Kristin Cavallari Reflects On Her Brother's Tragic Death After 8 Years

Michael Cavallari passed away at 30 due to substance abuse and mental health issues.

Kristin Cavallari's brother, Michael Cavallari, tragically passed away at the age of 30. His body was found nearly two weeks after he was reported missing on Dec. 10, 2015. Kristin has been open about her brother's struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues, particularly bipolar disorder.

Kristin and Michael were born to Judith Eifrig and Dennis Cavallari in the 1980s. They had a close relationship growing up, with Michael being described as having a sweet soul and a fun-loving personality. However, he faced challenges with drugs and alcohol, leading to a turbulent period in his life.

Michael's disappearance and subsequent passing were shrouded in mystery and tragedy. He was last seen in Utah before his body was found in the Salt Wash area, miles away from his abandoned car. The autopsy revealed that he died from hypothermia after being exposed to cold temperatures.

Kristin has been vocal about her grief and the impact of losing her brother. She has found solace in spiritual signs and memories of Michael, often commemorating him on anniversaries and sharing tributes on social media.

Despite the pain of losing her brother, Kristin has found comfort in the belief that they will be reunited one day. She has shared how her spirituality has helped her cope with grief and accept the cycle of life and death.

Through her podcast and public appearances, Kristin continues to honor Michael's memory and raise awareness about mental health struggles and substance abuse. Her journey of healing and remembrance serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health support and the enduring bond between siblings.
