The "Wife Swap" star known as Princess has been found dead inside a sober house in Pennsylvania -- this according to the county coroner.
Luzerne County Coroner Dion Fernandes tells TMZ ... Princess, whose real name is James Cuda, was discovered inside a sober home in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday afternoon. Fernandes said no foul play was suspected and Princess' cause of death was pending toxicology results.
Princess was best known for his memorable 2013 episode of "Wife Swap," in which he was cast as a gay nanny who traveled from Las Vegas to an Amish farm in Michigan.
When he arrived, the Christian farm owners and their 6 kids suddenly turned nasty, saying gay people were disgusting before tossing Princess out of their house. The internet went wild over the episode, which became one of the most compelling in "Wife Swap" history.
