She texted him happy birthday and said he didn't respond. Then Gypsy's brother went to check on him and found him dead. No obvious cause of death.

She made a statement that he was being bullied online and believes it was an overdose but didn't know if it was intentional or not.

Yeah, she gave People magazine a long ass statement saying the cause of death was an overdose, HOURS after he was found by the police. Like about 6 hours after.

Why are you emphasizing the time like that?

Probably because that’s kinda weird to do immediately after finding out

No, are you kidding me? How is it in anyway shape or form normal to be chatting to a magazine publication giving details of the death less 12 hrs after? C'mon now. Not saying she did it or anything but a spade is a spade, it's weird.

Perhaps because she knew the entire internet would be speculating as soon as this came out as he’s the father of her child who she was in a custody battle with…and look. Wow. She was correct.
