US news anchor Neena Pacholke took her own life after her fiancé Kyle Haase reportedly split from her seven weeks before the pair were due to marry, it has been claimed.
Neena, who was 27 when she took her own life, and Kyle are understood to have been together for two years before the anchor for ABC affiliate TV channel WAOW-9 died.
Neena and 38-year-old Kyle's romance is said to have been tumultuous, with the newscaster telling a friend she had found an unfamiliar pair of underwear in the home she shared with Kyle, it's been reported.
The news reporter had allegedly agreed a sale on a house with her fiancé one month before she took her own life.
But, Neena's friends have claimed she seemed more invested in the relationship than Kyle, who has two children, did.
A friend claimed to Mail Online: "They were always arguing, and it seemed like Neena was more in love with Kyle that he was with her."
Meanwhile, it has also been claimed Neena became suspicious her commercial sales manager fiancé had rekindled a romance with a former lover.
One friend reportedly claimed that a few weeks ago, Kyle had showed them a nude image of a former mistress and said: "Look at her boobs and a**, I wish Neena's body looked like that.
"I don't even want to go home to Neena.
"The only thing I get from her is a tax break because she only makes $47,000 a year."
Neena and Kyle were due to marry on October 12 at an all-inclusive resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico after meeting at a funeral 2020.
They had planned for the nuptials to take place in 2023, but decided to bring the date forward.
Kyle proposed to Neena on May 9. And Neena gave up her apartment to move in with her fiancé in downtown Wausau earlier this year.
However, Kyle reportedly told Neena he was kicking her out after an argument in July.
Neena reportedly moved all her belongings out on July 8 and stayed at a hotel before the pair reconciled.
And a friend told the publication how they were not fond of Kyle as they said: "I never liked him."
Neena was found dead at the home she and Kyle had recently bought in Wausau Wisconsin on Saturday August 27.
A friend had asked police to do a welfare check before they found Neena.
"After receiving no answer at the door, officers entered the home and found Pacholke deceased," a police press release stated.
Police confirmed her death and said: "The Wausau Police and Marathon County Medical Examiner's Office have confirmed that 27-year-old Neena Pacholke died as a result of suicide."
In an interview on WAOW-9, where Neena had hosted Wake Up Wisconsin, Neena's parents confirmed she had suffered with mental health issues for years.
Neena's mother, Laurie Pacholke said, "She was getting treatment. I'll put it out there – she had been to the crisis centre a couple of times.
"She had so many people here to talk to. She talked to people, but she didn't want anybody to know how she was hurting so she didn't talk until it got so bad."
Mirror has contacted Kyle for comment.
