Sterling ‘Steelo’ Brim, star of MTV’s Ridiculousness, is currently mourning the loss of his 3-year-old nephew.
According to TMZ, the young boy wandered into the backyard of Brim’s home, and fell into the pool when no adults were around. Law enforcement says it’s unclear how long the child was there before being found.
