Roy added that his son was “struggling” in prison after he was arrested on April 2.
“It should have been a red flag when Andy stopped communicating with family and friends,” he told the outlet.
The former star’s family are “bewildered” and “deeply saddened” by the tragic loss of Andrew.
Andrew was 26 when he starred in the inaugural season of the Kiwi’s marriage experiment, which aired in 2017.
