The former MTV personality didn’t divulge how her son Weston passed away. However, the late teen’s stepmom, Amy Gosa, has shared a little more info about his death on social media, such as she tried to wake him up at 7 a.m. on Monday but couldn’t, according to TMZ.

Additionally, Amy revealed CPR was attempted, and paramedics rushed Weston to a local hospital where he ended up being pronounced, the news outlet reported. As of now, the family is waiting for the autopsy results, and Amy further explained that Weston had a series of medical issues, which included diabetes.

Weston was born in April 2009. Weston is named after his father, who was actually on the debut season of 16 & Pregnant along with a pregnant Whitney. After the show, Whitney ended up losing custody of Weston and her other son, River, and last year she was arrested for allegedly failing to provide child support payments, TMZ revealed.
