The cause of Chris’ death wasn’t immediately released, but the actress said in an earlier post that he had been missing since Jan. 30.
In her initial social media post, she asked fans to spread the word that her brother was missing, adding that his keys, cell phone and wallet were left on the table of his unlocked home in Lacombe, Alberta, in Canada.
“This is not like Chris,” she wrote. “He would never leave his unlocked home without those items nor his 7 beloved dogs.”
Other celebrities were quick to voice their support to the actress and her family.
