He died hours later. “It’s very tragic and very unfortunate,” Blake said, adding that his client “didn’t like” his “very square jawline and chin,” as he, “thought it was too wide.” In the last 12 months, Von Colucci spent $220,000 on 12 surgeries, including a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, and a lip reduction, among others. “He was very insecure about his looks,” Blake explained, specifying that Van Colucci was particularly “unhappy” with his face. Von Colucci’s original features included dark blond hair and blue eyes. He also stood tall at 6 feet and weighed 182 pounds. His publicist said he struggled to get a job because of his Western looks which is why he went under the knife.
