“Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson has died at the age of 79.
Multiple family members announced the reality star’s death on social media on Sunday, five months after they made public that he’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
The cause of death is unknown.
The show that made Robertson’s name ran on A&E for 11 seasons from 2012 to 2017. It followed his family and their Louisiana hunting and recreation business, Duck Commander.
Robertson, though, generated an equal amount of headlines for his anti-gay rhetoric. He was briefly suspended from the show after giving an interview to GQ magazine in which he described “homosexual behavior” as a sin.
