16 & Pregnant Star Jordan Cashmyer Passes Away At 26

Jordan Cashmyer made a name for herself in the hit series 16 & Pregnant. Unfortunately, it seems Cashmyer has passed away, to the shock of many. She was only 26 years of age.

According to TMZ, while the medical examiner has confirmed her death, the cause or manner of death was not given. Jordan and her boyfriend, Derek Taylor and daughter Evie were on the show back in 2014.

They did not have the best of situations as Cashmyer and her boyfriend were homeless as she was about to give birth. Jordan’s family did not approve of her relationship and they ended up disowning her.

Following the end of the show, Jordan and Derek broke up and were unable to properly take care of their daughter. Jordan’s dad and stepmother got in the picture and shared guardianship with him for a time.

Jordan signed away her custody rights to Derek’s mother on a temporary basis in 2015. She was struggling with mental health issues, addiction and was often suicidal. In 2017 she started working in a strip club and got arrested for drug possession. She lived a difficult life and it is sad to see a young life end so quickly.
