According to an incident report, the couple had been arguing over their garage before Johnson shot himself in the head with a handgun. Though emergency services rushed to the scene, Johnson was declared dead en route to the hospital.
Johnson made a brief appearance in Tiger King’s first season to discuss some of Carole Baskin’s lawsuits against Joe Exotic and his zoo.
Rest in Peace, Jeff.
