Autumn Crittendon’s Cause Of Death Revealed
When Autumn Crittendon was a teenager, her first pregnancy was documented on 16 & Pregnant. This was the MTV series that spawned Teen Mom and launched many fan favorites. Maci Bookout, Kailyn Lowry, Jenelle Evans, Catelynn Lowell, and more all became household names thanks to 16&P. As the series went on, it did lose its luster and its fanbase some. It had been long scrutinized for glorifying teen pregnancy but in Autumn’s case, she welcomed her son, Drake.
She then went on to have two more children until her untimely passing in July 2024. Autumn’s sister, Misty, shared her death on social media but did delete the message:
“You were robbed of your life at such a tender age. You left before anyone could tell you goodbye. How much we love you. How amazing you are and how proud we are of you for staying sober through some of the toughest parts of your life, how far you’ve came from where you were, how thankful we are to have had all these years with you, how proud of you we are as a mother, how grateful we are for the 3 tiny parts of your heart that are still walking this earth.”
Misty added she would always remind Autumn’s children how amazing their mother was and never let them forget it. Now, four months after her passing, a cause of death has been revealed. According to TMZ, she died due to a drug overdose. At the time, she was living in Virginia with her mother, stepfather, and one of her children. She was then found unresponsive in her room and that was when authorities were called but it was too late.

Autumn Crittendon died from toxicity from fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl per the Virginia Department of Health. Para-fluorofentanyl is very much like fentanyl but in synthetic form. Her passing is considered an accident but tragic and devastating all the same.
Fans Express Sadness
After learning the cause of death, Autumn Crittendon’s followers were heartbroken, mainly for her children. They will now grow up without a mother and that is a devastating thought:
- The fact that her child will be growing up without a mother is just awful and I wish she could have gotten help before it was too late! 💔
- This is so heartbroken 💔 😥
- So sad for that young woman. My condolences to her family 🙏
Hopefully, the family can wrap their arms around her children and let them know Autumn loved them as best as she could. This is a horrible ending to this story and never should have happened.
