23-year-old Valerie Fairman, who appeared on season 2 of MTV‘s reality television series ’16 and Pregnant‘, has been found dead in Pennsylvania.
TMZ reports that the reality television star, who has a 7-year-old daughter named Neveah, was unconscious in the bathroom of a friend’s home.
Allegedly, her friend repeatedly called for her while she was in the bathroom. When Valerie didn’t respond, her friend broke down the door and found her unresponsive.
Sources are reporting her tragic death as an alleged overdose of some kind, but there has been no confirmation at time of writing. A coroner is reportedly conducting toxicology reports, putting out a statement that said,
“The investigation into the death of Valerie Fairman is on-going at this time.”
Fairman had been arrested last week for resisting arrest and providing false identification to police. She attempted to outrun the cops, but was found and arrested. It has also been reported that she has had previous battles with drug addiction.
MTV have now put out a statement about Fairman‘s passing:
