I don’t blame the family for publicly saying it was a disease that killed the barely there celebrity.

It has never killed anyone before, but still it sounded better than the way he did die.

There are a lot of people on that southern reality show who are probably relieved he is dead since he sold so many of them their drugs.

Lyme Disease

Olivia Flowers, a cast member of Southern Charm, has opened up about the circumstances surrounding her brother Conner Flowers’ death, which occurred in January. On Wednesday, November 1, the 31-year-old reality star disclosed that the coroner determined Conner’s cause of death as an accidental overdose of fentanyl. Olivia went on to reveal that her late brother’s struggle with prescription medicine was connected to his ongoing battle with Lyme disease.

Speaking to People, Olivia explained, “My brother hated talking about his illness.” She emphasized that many people, even within his close circle, were unaware of Conner’s Lyme disease. Olivia expressed concern about potential misconceptions due to the fentanyl overdose, emphasizing that this was not a result of partying but a relapse and a means for Conner to cope.

Conner, who passed away at the age of 32, began exhibiting symptoms of Lyme disease at the age of 15. Despite the early onset, it took years for him to receive an official diagnosis and find a doctor with an effective treatment plan. Olivia shared, “He started depending, at a very young age, on this prescription medicine to feel normal,” leading to a visible toll on his body that affected the family.

Prescribed painkillers were intended to alleviate chronic pain, but Conner continued to experience persistent headaches, joint and body pain, and anxiety. After eight years of battling the disease, Conner sought the assistance of a functional medicine doctor who began helping him in the fight against Lyme disease.
