The tragedy involving Michael Cavallari began in November 2015, when his 2014 Honda Civic was discovered abandoned near I-70 in Utah. Kristin Cavallari confirmed her sibling was missing on Dec. 7, 2015, just days before she revealed his body was found on Dec. 10, 2015, per People. The timeline of events leading to Michael’s death is unclear, although it appears he got off 1-70 at exit 175 and traveled down a dirt road, before attempting to circle back toward the highway. The rough terrain was seemingly too much for the Illinois native’s car to handle, as his car got derailed “about 100 feet” from the road and was found with the airbags deployed, per the Daily Mail. “Michael Cavallari’s body was found three miles from where his car was wrecked in the high desert of Grand County, Utah,” officials told the outlet at the time. “There were no signs of major trauma and no suicide note. Cops did not find any evidence of drugs or alcohol either.”
In February 2016, a coroner confirmed Michael died of hypothermia due to exposure from cold temperatures, with Kristin explaining on an episode of Very Cavallari that her brother “got lost” after the crash. “It’s just how it went down, is the part that just kills me. Like, kills me,” she explained. “For my parents? I can’t imagine having a kid die, but then like die the way that he did.”
