The Kardashian-Jenner clan is one of the most recognized families in the world. That is why each of his movements are analyzed with a magnifying glass, in the same way that everything that happens in his life becomes news. Unfortunately, in recent weeks Kris Jenner, mother of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie, was facing the sad loss of her sister. Now the causes of the death of Karen Houghton at the age of 65 have been revealed.
"With a heart full of pain and the deepest sadness, I share that my sister Karen passed away unexpectedly yesterday," Kris said in a letter that, without a doubt, he never wanted to write. "My heart aches for my mom, MJ, and my niece Natalie, and I pray that God guides us all through this difficult time. Karen was beautiful inside and out. She was the sweetest, kindest, most sensitive and vulnerable and so fun. She always felt grateful for her life and treasured her family and friends, especially her beautiful daughter," read the publication shared on social networks on March 19.
In the writing dedicated to the memory of her sister, the mother of the most recognized celebrities in the world assured that "life is short and precious" and that "tomorrow is never promised." "We must tell those we care about how much we love them," Jenner said. "I love you my beautiful sister," said Caitlyn Jenner's ex-wife.
According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ, Houghton's official cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac arrhythmia, with type 2 diabetes as a secondary underlying cause. On the other hand, the documents also state that Houghton had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After her death on March 19, Kim Kardashian's aunt was cremated.
Precisely, Kanye West's ex-wife honored her late aunt on social media after her death. "I love you so much, Aunt Karen," the 43-year-old Skims founder said. In the publication, you could see a series of family images in which Kim herself appears as a child with the rest of the family and her aunt.
While not much is known about Jenner and Houghton's relationship, it appears that the two grew apart at some point. In fact, it was in April 2014 when Houghton asked her Facebook friends to "pray" for her "crazy" older sister because "she needs it." "She's crazy. She doesn't need prayers, she needs sky vodka lol," Houghton added to RadarOnline.
On the other hand, he also told the outlet that Jenner would not return his phone calls. "And it hurts me. I don't care how much money you have or who you are, you're my sister. I'm not afraid of her... I can't reach her anymore. But I guess it's the money," she said then. Both sisters were last seen posing with other family members during Christmas 2019. It is unknown what their relationship was like at the time of Houghton's death.
