'Housewives' cast member's ex-fiance dies in fight

[October 05, 2009]  ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) -- Police say the former fiance of a cast member from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" has died after a fight outside an Atlanta strip club.

Atlanta police spokesman Officer James Polite says Ashley "A.J." Jewell died from the massive head injuries he received during the Friday night fight in the parking lot of the Body Tap Club.

Jewell was engaged to "Housewives" cast member Kandi Burruss until August. He appeared in several episodes of the hit reality show, which follows metro Atlanta socialites.

Polite says investigators are unsure what caused the fight. He said investigators are interviewing a "person of interest."

Police say Jewell worked at the club.
