Mom-of-one Taylor was found ‘unresponsive’ on a bed in a hotel room by a friend.

In the autopsy report obtained by The US Sun, it stated: ‘The friend stated that the evening before they were partying with a male in the room. The male left at some point during the night, taking the decedent’s vehicle to get the tire fixed.

‘A note was found in the room that stated: “What are the chances of y’all getting out of this hotel without paying me the $200 you took from me! Karma is a b***h!”‘

In light of the chilling note, police requested an autopsy. 

But Taylor’s cause of death has now been listed as ‘acute fentanyl and oxycodone toxicity’ and classified as an ‘accident’ – although no drugs paraphernalia were found at the scene.

The report said ‘no attempt of resuscitation was made’ as there were ‘obvious signs of death.’

It concluded that: ‘Investigation by law enforcement determined that the note may have been older and possibly even written by the decedent. Law enforcement found no evidence to support foul play.’ 

Speaking at the time of Taylor’s death, MTV alum Jenelle took to Facebook with a heartfelt post that read: ‘Taylor what happened?! We were once best friends and we went our separate ways because of the [different] crowds we chose to hangout with.
