SANTA ANA, Calif.—Josh Waring, the son of a former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” has died just days after being released from jail for a parole violation, his mother said Saturday. He was 35.

Mr. Waring, who had multiple brushes with the law over the past decade, found himself at the center of Orange County’s jail inmate phone scandal, which helped him ultimately win his release as well as a substantial settlement from county officials.
