Deadliest Catch Crew Member Justin Tennison Found Dead in Alaska

Deadliest Catch fans might remember crew member Justin Tennison from the show and, we’re sad to report that the star was found dead in Homer, Alaska this week.

According to reports, the member of F/V Time Bandit was found dead in a hotel and drugs and alcohol bottles were found in the room. Police say no foul play is suspected but have not released a cause of death at this time. Cops told TMZ.com that they believe there was a party in the room – registered to Justin – the night before.

Justin’s body has been transported to the State Medical Examiner and an autopsy is scheduled for later today.

Tennison was just 33 years old and is survived by a son, daughter (as well as a sister, father and his grandparents).

Our thoughts and prayers are with Justin’s family and friends. Let’s hope the autopsy proves that drugs and alcohol were not the cause of his death.
