kandi-ajThe doctor who performed the autopsy on reality TV personality Ashley “AJ” Jewell says that a pre-existing condition may have played a major role in the BRAVO star’s death, reports TMZ:

Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner, Dr. Kelly Rose tells TMZ preliminary autopsy results lead her to believe Ashley “A.J.” Jewell suffered from Sickle Cell — a disease which inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body.

Rose says it’s most likely that Jewell was worked up from the fight — and because of his condition, it’s probable that he couldn’t replenish the oxygen he lost during the incident … which the Dr. says could have fatal consequences.

AJ was engaged to R&B singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss (formerly of Xscape) up until August 2009 and was a regular on her show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Filming for the reunion special was set to take place last Thursday (Oct 8), but has since been pushed back due to AJ’s sudden death the week prior.

Khloe recently shut down rumors that her marriage to NBA baller Lamar Odom is in trouble all because of a massage, adding that she’s very happy and she can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

“Married life is incredible and I’ve never been so happy,” she blogged on her Celebuzz site on Thursday. “I feel so blessed to have Lamar and I can’t wait to spend my life with him!”

The reality star blasted a report from Star magazine, which claimed her union was in trouble after Lamar failed to give her a massage. “I seriously died when I read that! LOL,” Khloe wrote. “Star is known for doing evil, fake and RIDICULOUS stories about my family. Remember the cover story, ‘Kardashians At War?’ Honey please… Next thing you know they’ll be saying that Kourtney is giving birth to a cat!”

Still, Khloe said she’s taking the false reports in stride. “At least we get a good laugh from their lies,” she wrote.
