    His father, Ron Jury, told The New Zealand Herald that he was worried about Andrew’s mental health before the hearing.

    Jury appeared on “Married At First Sight New Zealand” in 2017. His former castmates Brett and Angel Renall and Benjamin Blackwell issued a joint statement confirming his death.

    “It’s with the heaviest hearts we’ve come together to acknowledge the passing of Andrew Jury,” read the statement, according to the New Zealand Herald.

    “We had the absolute pleasure of filming and participating in a show which leaves us intricately linked for a lifetime. Despite his struggles, Andrew was always friendly and the life of the party during our shared experience, and he really valued his time on the show.”

    They added, “At this time, our entire cast wishes to send our deepest condolences and love to his family.”
