Jordan Cashmyer’s cause of death has finally been revealed more than a month after her death.
Jordan died of fentanyl and cocaine intoxication, according to the Maryland Department of Health’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The cause of death is unknown; thus, it’s uncertain if it was an accident.
Cashmyer died on January 15, leaving behind an orphaned baby daughter, Lyla, and her first child, Genevieve, whose birth she documented on the MTV reality show in 2014.
Her death came just four months after the death of her fiance, who was also the father of her six-month-old daughter. “This is an incredibly sad day. Jordan was a sweet and caring person,” he shared. “Last we spoke, she was doing well and seemed to be in a good place mentally and physically. I wish people had the opportunity to know her beyond her struggles.”
Jordan’s father, Dennis Cashmeyer Jr., paid tribute on social media last month.
“My oldest beloved daughter, Jordan has passed away, she was only 26 years old,” he wrote. “Our hearts are truly broken. No parent should ever have to go through losing a child, EVER.”

Cashmyer’s family was the first to report her death on January 28, claiming that she had succumbed to ‘addiction.’ Family members described the mother-of-addiction two’s as a “plague,” pleading for donations to help fund her funeral expenses and the care of her now-orphaned newborn daughter.
Lyla Cashmyer, Cashmyer’s second daughter and first child with late fiance Michael Schaffer, was born in June 2021 in Baltimore, Maryland.
The family paid tribute to the late reality star on a GoFundMe page created by Cashmyer’s devastated father Dennis, writing: Jordan was always so full of life and personality. She had a way of always making those around her laugh and smile, and her smile was truly contagious.’
The family wrote about her demise and the cause of her death. ‘Addiction plagues many families, and our family was not immune to it… Lyla lost her father to addiction at two months [and] now her mother at six months.’
Lyla will ‘never get to share memories with her mother or father,’ the family said, adding that the infant is now in the care of Cashmyer’s parents, who are seeking funds to help the little girl’s future. As a result, our family has to now not only put our daughter to rest but navigate through starting over with an infant who has lost both her parents in her six months of life,’ the family said.
