From Eddie Trunk's website:
Keri Leigh Tucker, passed away in NYC back in December. The whole Eddie Trunk Box Of Junk bit came directly from my radio show, however Keri added a great extra element to it when we decided to do it on TV. We always had fun with her on the set and she was a good sport about so many things. Keri was always mad when I got questions correct because she wanted to be on camera more. She busted me about that all the time! I'm glad that she finally had that chance on the bit in our final show of season 3 with Peter Criss when Don & Jim wine and dine her. She was happy to have a larger role for that segment for sure and was excited for people to see it. If you watch the show you no doubt have seen already how she won that job and when we first introduced her in the Vinnie Paul episode that kicked off Season 2. She was fun to have around and will be missed by the TMS family and friends and viewers. Please understand as much as this is sad and tragic news, we did not know her much outside of the days we taped the show. None of us had a relationship with her outside of the work place. Therefore we have no idea what happened. We do know her services took place where she was from in TN. Keri will be missed and thanks to all who sent notes. If there is anything further to share I will when I can. TMS Season 4 starts shooting 1/12 in NYC. When I have the info to get tickets for a taping I will post. Please be sure we have your info in the data base mailing list on this site!
