The cause of death has not been released as his family stated the details are not shared due to the circumstances being “really personal.”

Following his death, Slaton mourned the loss as she told her fans on TikTok, “I’m having stages of grief. Yeah, we were having problems, but I loved that man. I still do.”

“I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for your comments. I appreciate them, I really do,” she added.

Source claims filming of Caleb Willingham’s funeral was ‘not natural’

TLC filmed Willingham’s funeral for the show, and a source claimed that the network allegedly tried to make the intimate event appear more emotional rather than allowing it to be a true celebration of his life.

“The filming of the funeral was ‘completely not natural’, and things were put in there to make it seem sad when it really wasn’t that sad,” the insider spilt.

“People were having fun, but [TLC producers] made it depressing,” said the source, according to OK Magazine.
