Former ‘Extreme Makeover’ Star Dead After Stabbing
If you are a fan of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” this report will not be pleasant.
Eduardo Xol, who appeared on the second season of the show, is dead.
He was only 58 years old.
Brutal Death
According to reports after the incident, police received a call for help, then arrived at Xol’s home to find him having been stabbed multiple times.
He was not able to identify his assailant, but a call came in the next day by a man who alleged he had been attacked.
Police investigated both cases, but then arrested the man who had reported the second incident for the stabbing of Xol.
Police believe the two men knew each other, but they are uncertain of the actual relationship.
More than a week after the initial stabbing, Xol passed away. His family confirmed his death.
Xol’s family stated, "We are heartbroken at the tragic loss of our beloved Eduardo Xol. As his family, we know that his kindness has touched the lives of so many.
“We ask for that kindness returned now allowing our privacy to be respected as we process our grief.
“In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Eduardo’s name to the Lupus Foundation of America as he spent so much of his life in the service of others."
Xol’s friend, Richard Perez-Feria, paid tribute to his buddy online, posting, "It’s nearly incomprehensible that I’m writing this post as a goodbye to someone who has been so present, so important in my life.
"When I first learned that Eduardo Xol had passed, I went numb. It was impossible to process that information as it didn’t square with my thousands of experiences with him.
"Please don’t ask me how or why at this point…what matters most is who he was: A talented, beautiful, passionate friend, brother, son and partner.
“The millions of laughs, hopes and secrets we shared remain at the fore of my thoughts. I want to honor my dear friend and celebrate his life as one that mattered to so many.
“He certainly mattered to me. Sending healing love at this horrific time to his circle of friends and family who loved him so. Sadly, tomorrow isn’t promised. Love each other. Rest in peace, Eduardo."
Such a brutal way to go, and he was far too young to leave us. Rest in peace, sir.
