Taylor Lewis, the star of Teen Mom 2, died at the age of 29.
According to sources, the TV personality, who featured on the show in 2014, was discovered in her hotel room by a cleaner.
Her cause of death is’still unknown,’ but authorities are looking into a ‘possible homicide.’
Haylee Lewis, Lewis’ sister, told In Touch that she is assisting with the investigation, stating, ‘I’ve been communicating with cops too, and they are saying they saw film of two men with Taylor in the hotel room.’
She was discovered ‘hours later.’
However, there are rumours that Lewis died of a drug overdose, having previously struggled with addiction.
Following her death, Lewis’ friends have paid tribute, with former best friend Jenelle Evans, 31, sharing a devastating social media post, after appearing on the show with Lewis while going through pregnancy.
‘Taylor what happened?!’, she began. ‘We were once best friends and we went our separate ways because of the diff crowds we chose to hangout with.
‘I wanted to see you eventually flourish as a woman from a distance but was always rooting for you. I don’t know what happened but I am very saddened to hear this news and hope you’re resting easy.’
She concluded: ‘I’m so sorry and sending your family prayers #SweetAngel #RIP.
‘I feel awful for not answering her in March 2022, but I felt like she wasn’t doing her best.’
The Teen Mom star shared a series of flashback photographs of herself with Lewis, telling fans to’respond’ and ‘check in on’ their pals if they reach out to see how they are doing.
While it is unknown why Lewis’ friendship with Evans ended, their tangled past is extensively chronicled.
Lewis was Evans’ ex-first husband’s wife, Courtland Rogers, with whom she had a daughter, Jordan Ashlee Nikole Lewis, before divorcing.
Evans and Rogers first became romantically involved in early 2012, and they married in December of that year.
However, they divorced just one month later.
Following the split, Evans turned to friend Lewis, confiding in her after discovering she was pregnant with Rogers’ baby during the season 5 premiere of Teen Mom 2.
‘I did relapse [on heroin] one time and that was when I met Courtland,’ Evans said to her friend at the time.
‘Me and him, we got married only after three months of dating. I’m so mad at myself for marrying someone that I didn’t think through.’
She continued: ‘I went to the doctor the other day ‘cause I was sick. And they were like, “We can’t give you a chest X-ray because you’re pregnant”.’
In the end, Evans decided to have an abortion.
