Valerie Fairman of 16 and Pregnant died

Valerie Fairman was found dead on Wednesday after what is believed to be a drug overdose.
The mother of one was just 23 and starred on MTV's hit show in 2010.
Friends and family confirmed the reality star's death on social media Thursday.

Valarie starred on MTV's 16 And Pregnant in 2010 after falling pregnant at just 15 to her then boyfriend Matt.

Their volatile relationship was followed during the second season of the series with Matt often claiming to not be the father of Valerie's daughter Nevaeh Lynn, now 7.

“16 and Pregnant” was a documentary-style reality show that aired from 2009 to 2014 on MTV. Each episode showcased a different teen dealing with pregnancy. The show spawned three spinoffs, “Teen Mom,” “Teen Mom 2” and “Teen Mom 3.”

Valerie has struggled with drugs for some time and despite a reported rehab stay, had also found herself in trouble with the law.
In recent years, she had been arrested for assaulting her mother and prostitution.
Last Wednesday, the 23-year-old was arrested for resisting arrest and making a false identification to law enforcement.

Valerie leaves behind seven-year-old Nevaeh - Heaven spelled backwards - who was in the care of the late star's adoptive mom.

MTV, the network behind Valerie's show, also confirmed her passing in a statement: 'We are saddened by the news of Valerie Fairman's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.'

Valerie had long struggled with substance abuse issues.
The 16 And Pregnant star's mother told TMZ that on Wednesday Valerie was at a friend's house in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, when her pal became concerned she had not returned from the bathroom.
When the friend broke down the door, they found the 23-year-old unresponsive.
In audio of the paramedics dispatch, obtained by TMZ, EMS were sent to a possible 'cardiac arrest' and someone was doing CPR on scene.
However, the dispatcher changed the call to a 'possible DOA [Dead On Arrival]'and told paramedics they would need containers for needles.
The coroner is conducting toxicology tests to determine the official cause of death, but all signs point to an overdose, according to TMZ.
