Jasen Kaplan — a contestant on “Finding Prince Charming” and celebrity makeup artist — has died … TMZ has confirmed.
Kaplan passed away Wednesday in a New York City hospital, according to Page Six, who reports the NYPD is investigating the death of a 46-year-old man at Kaplan’s apartment building.
The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

As we reported … Chad Spodick, who made it far during the show’s only season, died by suicide on December 3. TMZ obtained dispatch audio revealing Chad hung himself in a backyard.
The two men were among 13 who appeared in the 2016 dating show, hosted by *NSYNC star Lance Bass. Kaplan was also a go-to makeup artist for Kelly Osbourne, Eva Longoria, Cyndi Lauper, Bethenny Frankel and more.
He began working with Brittny and Lisa Gastineau on their 2005 show “Gastineau Girls.”
Lisa tells TMZ … “I am heartbroken and shocked. I have had some of my favorite memories with Jasen. He was part of our family. It’s so difficult to wrap my head around this tragedy.”
Jasen was 46.
