Victoria Siegel may have died from a drug overdose, according to Mail Online . The second eldest of eight children may have been abusing drugs due to depression. According to the report, David and JacQueline Siegel were recently on Celebrity Wife Swap , where they admitted that they didn’t spend a great deal of time with their eight children.
“Jackie Siegel, 49, swapped her luxurious life in sunny Florida for a ranch in Oklahoma City on ‘Celebrity Wife Swap’ and moved in with former Party Of Five star Jeremy London, 42. On arriving at the ranch, Jackie revealed to the Mallrats actor that she is ‘scared of babies’ and not sure what to do with an infant – having never had to care for her own alone. Meanwhile London’s wife requested that David spend more quality time with his children and arranged a camping trip so the Westgate Resorts businessman could focus less on material possessions.”
