Seeking closure: Kristin Cavallari has a lot of pain from her brother Michael's death. And the 31-year-old fashion queen talked openly about it to celebrity clairvoyant Tyler Henry on his show Hollywood Medium
Michael died of hypothermia in 2015 after crashing his car in a rocky and rural part of southern Utah. He was 30.
His body was found three miles away at the bottom of a steep hillside filled with boulders on December 10, about two weeks after his abandoned car was found with the engine running and the air bag deployed.
In November, Cavallari shared an emotional tribute commemorating the two-year anniversary of his death alongside a black and white photo of the siblings as children.

Tragic: Michael's body was found in the Utah wilderness two weeks after crashing his car. He succumbed to hypothermia
Tyler tells her: 'They're having me talk about two factors playing on someone's mental state.
'But there's an acknowledgement with this of more of an emphasis on the drugs and alcohol than even as the mental illness thing.
'It's when we go down the drugs and alcohol route, it's kind of like, "There's no saving me."
'That kind of triggered or kicked off some things.'
When Kristin hears this she says he's on target.
'That's like so accurate. Mike dealt with we think, Bipolar disorder.
'He would go into these manias and think that everything's great, everything's fine and then he would just crash and would be depressed.
'And it was just this constant up and down, up and down. And then you throw drugs and alcohol into the mix and it would just enhance everything.
'And it went on for years. He was dealing with some demons. There's no doubt about it.'
