Russell Armstrong’s body was left in such a dire condition following his violent death by hanging that there will not be an open casket at his funeral RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

“He was hanging for so long that his neck was almost detached from his body,” his step brother Wade Jackson told RadarOnline.com about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. 

“His body is all swollen, bruised and bloated and so the family is not going to be able to have an open casket at the funeral.”
