Married at First Sight New Zealand star Andrew Jury was in prison at the time of his death.
The builder was one of the original grooms on the first season of the New Zealand series, which aired in 2017 when he was 26-years-old.
Over the weekend it was revealed that he had died aged 33, with the news being announced by some of his former co-stars.
Now his father has confirmed that the TV star was behind bars when he died last Thursday.
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald, Roy Jury said his son was behind bars within Mt Eden Corrections Facility.
Jury had been just hours from a scheduled court appearance, where he was facing charges that included ‘assault with intent to injure, willful damage and possession of an offensive weapon’.

His father also told the Herald he’d held concerns for his son’s mental state ahead of his court hearing, and that his family were ‘bewildered’ and ‘deeply saddened’ by the tragic turn of events.
Roy added that his son had been arrested on April 2 and had told his relatives he was ‘struggling’ in prison.
‘It should have been a red flag when Andy stopped communicating with family and friends,’ he told the publication.
