Autumn Oxley Crittendon was in the fifth season of 16 & Pregnant in 2014 alongside her then-boyfriend Dustin Franklin.

Autumn Oxley Crittendon, 27, a participant in the fifth season of "16 & Pregnant" in 2014 alongside her then-boyfriend Dustin Franklin, passed away on July 20 at her home in Henrico County, Virginia. 

“Once on scene, officers and fire personnel located an adult female unresponsive within the residence,” the Henrico County Police Division told E! News in a statement. 

“Members from Henrico Fire attempted life-saving measures however they were not effective. Autumn Oxley, 27, of Henrico, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Autumn was the mother of her 10-year-old son Drake, whom she shared with Dustin, as well as two other children. According to multiple sources, Autumn's older sister, Misty Crittendon—who also appeared on "16 & Pregnant"—paid tribute to her in a since-deleted Facebook post, referring to Autumn as her "dearest baby sister."

“You were robbed of your life at such a tender age,” she wrote in her July 21 post. “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.”
