Paulina Porizkova Shares Emotional Details About Finding Her Ex Ric Ocasek Dead in Bed

Paulina Porizkova is sharing the heartbreaking details surrounding the death of her ex-husband Ric Ocasek.

The 57-year-old model split from Ric in May 2018 after 28 years of marriage, but they were still living together at the time of his death in September 2019.

Paulina was the one who found Ric dead in his bed and she opened up about that moment in a new interview on Red Table Talk.

“He had surgery because they’d found stage 0 lung cancer,” Paulina said in a clip that was premiered by People. “And he was recovering really well. Two weeks [later], he was walking around, he was starting to feel much better, he was sleeping better. And this night, he said, you know what, I’m feeling kinda tired.”

Paulina said that she thought Ric was sleeping in the next morning, which wasn’t abnormal due to his “rockstar hours.”

“By 11, I was like, he’s sleeping in a little bit too long, so I’m going to make him a cup of coffee and I’m going to bring it up to him,” she said. “I brought him a cup of coffee and he just looked like he was sleeping. I set the coffee down next to him and that’s when I saw his face. I saw his eyes. And they didn’t look like eyes anymore.”

After Ric‘s death, Paulina found love again with a famous writer, but they have since split.
