Jordan Cashmyer, a young woman who appeared on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant several years ago, alongside her boyfriend and her child, has sadly died. Jordan Cashmyer’s death was originally reported this morning, though an official cause has not been given. She was 26.

The medical examiner’s office confirmed Jordan’s death to TMZ. Jordan Cashmyer’s mother also used her husband’s Facebook account to speak out on her daughter’s passing. In the post, Jessica Cashmyer recalled how she first learned the news and paid loving tribute to her little girl: “Last night I received a call no parent ever wants. 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. 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, granddaughter Lyla, and family members.”

Jordan Cashmyer first appeared on 16 & Pregnant in a 2014 episode, during which she was joined by Derek Taylor who was her boyfriend at that time. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Jordan got pregnant by her boyfriend, and then she was kicked out of her parent’s house when she refused to stop seeing Taylor. With no nearby relatives to take them in and Derek apparently uninterested in getting a job, the couple sadly became homeless. In 2014, Jordan Cashmyer would eventually give birth to their daughter, Genevieve “Evie” Shae Taylor.

Their episode focused heavily on their struggles as young parents and, after it was filmed, the two separated. Eventually, Jordan’s parents agreed to share custody of Evie with Derek, and, later, Jordan Cashmyer signed over temporary custody to Derek’s mother. Jordan Cashmyer would later start working as a stripper and, by 2017, she was seemingly working as a prostitute. She had also struggled with mental health and later she attempted suicide.
