Ashley A.J. Jewell Cause Of Death: What Happened To Kandi Burruss Husband?

Ashley “A.J.” Jewell of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi Burruss’ ex-fiance, died after suffering a head injury during a fight at an Atlanta strip club on Oct. 2, 2009.

Ashley “AJ” Jewell, who was engaged to Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss, died over a decade ago.

AJ, who was 34, got into an altercation outside of Atlanta strip club.

It was presumed that he died as a result of the head injuries he received in the fight but later suggested his death was the result of sickle cell anemia complications.

“I am devastated by the loss of A.J.,” Burruss had said at the time. “His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief.”

“I had spoken to A.J. two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital,” Burruss said in her statement. “Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him, but now it’s too late.”

AJ was allegedly beaten by Fredrick Richardson who inflicted severe head wounds unto the man.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jewell was part owner of the club and Richardson was an employee there.

A preliminary report on Jewell’s autopsy labeled the death a “homicide,” but was later challenged by the notion that he died as a result of complications caused by his sickle cell anemia.

The Atlanta Constitution Journal revealed that the medical report said: “Although Mr. Jewell died of complications of his underlying natural disease conditions, the complications would not have occurred if he had not experienced the extreme exertion that was part of the physical altercation. Due to the active involvement of another person, the manner of death is classified as a homicide.”

Although AJ and  Burruss ended up calling it quits before his death.
