'Deadliest Catch' deckhand Justin Tennison was was found dead in his Homer, Alaska, hotel room yesterday, TMZ reports.
Law enforcement officials in Homer, AK tell us they got a call at 12:52 PM yesterday reporting a deceased male at the Best Western Bidarka Inn. Upon arrival they found 33-year-old Tennison lying on a bed unresponsive.
According to reports, police found the body of the reality star and crew member of the F/V Time Bandit in a hotel room in Homer, Alaska on Tuesday.
His cause of death is unknown at this time.
During the search of Justin's room, authorities reportedly found a small amount of marijuana and alcohol. Tennison served as an engineer and deckhand on the boat, captained by Andy Hillstrand on the hit Discovery series.
An autopsy is expected later Wednesday.
Time Bandit captain Andy Hillstrand posted on his Facebook page that Justin had served as an engineer aboard the fishing boat during the offseasons -- and just joined the crew as a deckhand a few months ago for the crab season.
This is the second death to rock the 'Deadliest Catch' crew in a year -- Captain Phil Harris died of a heart attack on Feb. 9, 2010. In September, Discovery sued Time Bandit captains Andy and Jonathan Hillstrand for not completing work on a proposed spinoff. The brothers and costar Sig Hansen quit the show in protest, but both sides resolved the conflict and went on to film a new season of 'Deadliest Catch.'
