His rep tells us Chris died Tuesday morning. No official cause of death yet, but multiple people connected to Chris tell us they believe it was a heart attack.

He was Rob’s best friend and bodyguard on their reality show, which ran from 2006 to 2008 — and also later appeared on ‘Fantasy Factory.’ He’s survived by his 9-year-old daughter.

This is a pretty big bummer for me since I remember loving this show back when it aired.
