Rich’s girlfriend, Chanel Jansen, was with him at the time of his fall and had been the one to administer CPR. They had been on and off over the years and, after two failed marriages, Rich and Chanel were together for a while until his death. Chanel is a fitness model who also worked with Rich’s business, 5% Nutrition.
Shortly after his death, Chanel spoke with People magazine about staying with him in the hospital when he was taken off life support and how she was determined to keep the memory of him alive. Although Rich’s exact cause of death is still unknown, he obviously led a life full of love that he gave to and received from those around him.
