Carl Radke left the ‘Summer House’ after his brother’s death

On the latest episode of Summer House, Radke received the devastating news that his brother had died. The reality TV personality got the sad news from his mother who called him over the phone. Radke was completely gutted to find out he would no longer be able to talk to his sibling.

All of the house came together in sympathy for Radke and his family during the tremendous sad moment. As there was a lot of tension in the house, the environment was not good for Radke who decided to leave to be with his family.

“I’ve cried a lot since that day in August and it still feels very strange to think my brother is no longer here,” Radke shared recently on Instagram. “Losing a sibling is like no feeling I’ve ever had and having to go through that while filming #SummerHouse is so surreal and hard to describe. That moment is the most vulnerable and raw I’ve ever been and it was on TV. So I’m still processing/healing as I write this. It’s just very very hard.”

The entrepreneur was grateful for all of the support he received from the show, his fans, and his family. His mother and father also came together “in a beautiful way” to grieve the loss of their son.

“I can’t thank my family and friends enough. The producers, the crew, everyone involved in [the] making of our show, thank you. The love and support just blows me away. Everyone has been so thoughtful, caring, and supportive during this very hard time,” he added.
