“Deadliest Catch” star Blake Painter was found dead in his Astoria, Oreg. home May 25. He was 38.
Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin confirmed Painter’s death to the Associated Press, stating that he was found when a friend grew concerned and visited the house after being unable to reach Painter.
Bergin said a cause of death would not be released until a toxicology report had been completed, but that there was no apparent evidence of foul play.
Painter found notoriety after appearing on early seasons of the Discovery Channel series, which follows the lives of fishermen in the Alaskan waters of the Bering Sea, paying particular attention to the hazardous nature of the job. An expert crab fisherman, Painter first made appearances on “Deadliest Catch” in 2006 during season 2, but chose to leave the series several episodes into the third season. He worked as an engineer aboard the the F/V Maverick before taking over the captaincy.

Ian Hislop's opening line last night when announcing the annual Paul Foot awards won loud laughs and applause.
"We are here to remember sacked and persecuted journalists across the world," he said. "I am thinking, of course, of Piers Morgan".
There was a lot of funny follow-up Morgan material from the Private Eye editor before he referred to Hugh Grant's post-Leveson inquiry organisation as "Knocked Up", offering due apologies to Hacked Off's amused director, Brian Cathcart.
On the serious business of the awards themselves, the top prize went to David Cohen, the London Evening Standard reporter who has distinguished himself and his paper over the past couple of years with two brilliant campaigns, one about the dispossessed and the other about criminal gangs in the capital.
It was the gang campaign that won him the award. Cohen not only managed to win the trust of gang members to...

There were no black ties and no fawning, but an impressive number of entries that have changed the world for the better
The Oscars pull you up short. "Does anyone else find the wall-to-wall coverage repellent? Vapid fawning over celebrities masquerading as news," tweeted the Guardian's fulminator-in-chief, George Monbiot. Quite right. Too many designer dresses; too much hollow harrumphing over this year's presenter and off-colour jokes; too little honesty in an ocean of puff stuff. Plus a feeling, yet again, that Hollywood has made us all bit players in a media world where power – and markets and money – homogenise lives.
How did British actors get so good at American accents, even at playing iconic American presidents? Because that's where the paycheques are. Watch our TV stars beat the path to Beverly Hills. Why do some of the most dynamic on- and offline newspapers cross the Atlantic at a bound, so...
