The MTV star’s sister broke the news on Facebook on Sunday — writing a heartfelt message to her late sibling… which has since been deleted. However, a source with direct knowledge has given us a little more insight into what happened.
We’re told Autumn passed away Saturday at a home where she lived with her children, mother and stepfather in Henrico County, Virginia. Our sources say her stepfather found her unresponsive in her bedroom, and that paramedics arrived and attempted CPR.
Unfortunately, these life-saving efforts were unsuccessful — and in terms of what may have caused it, we’re told the family still doesn’t know for sure. However, we’re told Autumn had been complaining of heartburn lately and expressed an interest in seeing a doctor.
