One month after Jordan Cashmyer’s passing, her cause of death has been revealed.
The Office of Chief Medical Examiner for the Maryland Department of Health confirmed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 23, that the 16 & Pregnant alum died from fentanyl, despropionyl fentanyl and cocaine intoxication. The manner of death is “undetermined,” which means it isn’t clear whether it was an intentional or accidental overdose.
The MTV personality passed away at age 26 earlier last month. Her rep, Howard “Howie” Wood, confirmed the loss in a statement, saying, “I got the news last night after returning from a business trip and all I can say is that this is an incredibly sad day.”
Wood continued: “The last time I spoke with Jordan, she sounded happy and healthy. I wish people had the opportunity to know her away from her struggles as she was a very sweet and kind hearted person. I’m grateful I had the chance to know and work with her all these years. Life was not always good to her and I hope now she is in a better place. RIP sweet girl.”
Jordan’s father, Dennis M. Cashmyer Jr., announced the news of her death on social media.
“Last night I received a call no parent ever wants,” Dennis wrote via Facebook alongside a black and white photo of his late child. “My oldest beloved daughter, Jordan has passed away, she was only 26 years old. Our hearts are truly broken. No parent should ever have to go through losing a child, EVER.”
He concluded, “Please keep my family in your thoughts prayers as we navigate through this terrible tragedy. Please understand and respect our privacy at this time. We are surrounded by the love and support of our children, grand daughter Lyla and family members.
