She went on to write that Autumn had left the world before family, friends and fans could revel in “how much we love you”. Misty also wanted to commend Autumn for staying away from the booze during some of the most heart-wrenching and tough times in her life.

Currently, the cause of Autumn’s death has not been released, as Misty did not give any detail on how the MTV star tragically passed away. However, she insisted that Autumn’s memory will continue to “live on every moment of every day”.

The social media post also chronicled the heart-breaking moments leading up to Misty’s discovery of Autumn’s tragic death. Having arrived at where Autumn was supposed to be, Misty was confronted with a series of emergency service vehicles but with no sign of Autumn.

Autumn’s sister Misty said she would look after the children as best she could

After spotting that an ambulance had pulled up to the area, Misty investigated, but found that it was empty. Misty said it was then when she knew that her “worst fear had come true”, falling to the ground and screaming in grief.

“I went down the hall to check the rooms to make sure you weren’t hiding back there, but they laid empty.. quiet..” she continued in her post. “I went where you were last and just stood there in disbelief.. how was my baby sister gone? I was just talking to her. No way this is real life. It’s not real.”

Clearly still struck by grief, she added that she was “begging God” to bring Autumn back, adding: “I seen the shirt you were wearing and I held it so tight. I smelled it for so long as I just stood there empty, broken, finally allowing myself a moment to fall apart while I knew the kids were okay and I was alone.”
