Jordan Cashmyer, star of the U.S. reality program 16 and Pregnant, was found dead at the age of 26, according to a foreign media outlet including Daily Mail and Variety on the 16th (local time).
Jordan Cash died in Maryland, and his death occurred months after his current fiance, Michael Frank Schaefer, died, according to reports. The official cause of death is unknown.
Denny's M Cash, the late father, delivered a bib of his daughter in an article posted on Facebook on Wednesday. He posted a black and white photo of Jordan Cash, saying: "Last night I received a phone call that no parent wanted: my beloved eldest daughter Jordan passed away, and she was only 26. We were really heartbroken - no parent should ever go through the loss of a child," he wrote, expressing his sadness.
'16 and Pregnancy', which was aired on MTV, is a program that deals with the daily life and life of pregnant teenagers. In 2014, Jordan Cash became famous for appearing in the series with his ex-boyfriend Derek James Taylor and daughter Genevieve Shay James Taylor.
Jordan Cash’s parents disowned their daughter and kicked her out of the house, and after her boyfriend James Taylor refused to get a job, the couple became homeless. And the figure was broadcast through the program - the couple split in March 2014 when the baby was born.
Jordan Cash had postpartum depression and had been unable to take care of his daughter, so both parents had guardianship. He even posted on Facebook that he had "not much reason to live anymore" - also known for making actual extreme attempts.
Jordan Cash was admitted to rehab and was regularly drugged, but in 2017 he was arrested for possession of drugs.
