The Office of Chief Medical Examiner for the Maryland Department of Health told Us Weekly that Cashmyer had fentanyl, despropionyl fentanyl and cocaine in her system when she died on Jan. 15 at the age of 26.
The manner of death is “undetermined,” meaning it is unclear whether the overdose was accidental or intentional, according to the office.
Cashmyer’s stepmother, Jessica Cashmyer, first announced the news of Jordan’s death on her father Dennis M. Cashmyer Jr.’s Facebook page alongside a black-and-white photo of the late reality star.
“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,” Jessica’s post read.
“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
Jordan’s rep, Howard Wood, also confirmed her death in a statement, revealing at the time, “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.”
“The last time I spoke with Jordan, she sounded happy and healthy,” Wood continued. “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 appeared on the MTV reality series in 2014 alongside her then-boyfriend, Derek Taylor, and their daughter, Genevieve “Evie” Shae Taylor.
Jordan had battled addiction issues and was arrested for drug possession in 2017, two years after signing over temporary custody rights of Evie to Taylor’s mother.
