Julie Chrisley tearfully recalls the story behind the death of her brother

“Chrisley Knows Best” star Julie Chrisley is showing her vulnerable side in a new episode of E!’s “Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry.” In their session together, medium Tyler starts getting a reading about a guy almost getting electrocuted. It turns out Julie’s father, Harvey, was zapped when he and his son, Julie’s brother Trey, were working on some power lines near a lake. Trey had cut the power, but it was still running somehow when Harvey went to turn it back on.

That job was the last thing Julie’s dad and brother ever did together before her brother suddenly passed away.

Once that connection is made with Julie’s late brother, Tyler begins expressing some of the thoughts he says Trey is communicating from the great beyond.

Tyler says, “He comes through very peaceful, but he is making a very profound connection to your dad, but the feeling is that dad never gets over this. The reference is, ‘When I died, dad was never able to come back.’  It was almost like your dad’s life ended when your brother’s did.”

Tyler goes on to say that Trey is sorry that his death really turned their father into a shell of the man he once was.

Julie was obviously emotional hearing this because she’s seen it play out since Trey’s passing.

She says, “People that have met my dad after my brother passed, I’m like, ‘But you don’t know him before. He was so different before.’ So, to hear Tyler say that, ‘When your brother died, he did, too’ — There’s so much truth to that. I’m very grateful for that.”
