Stepmom of Whitney Purvis' Son Slams Drug Rumors After His Sudden Death at 16

The unexpected death of 16-year-old Weston Purvis, son of Whitney Purvis from the MTV show "16 and Pregnant," has left his family and community in shock. His stepmom, Amy Gosa, shared with The U.S. Sun that Weston's death was sudden and unexpected, despite some underlying health issues. Gosa is fighting against online rumors that attribute Weston's death to drug use. "He had health issues, so we think it was something underlying," Gosa stated, adding that it is painful to see rumors blaming fentanyl. To help cover the costs of his funeral, a Spotfund fundraiser has been set up with a goal of $12,000. Gosa hopes that the autopsy will clear Weston's name and provide answers to the family. The family's grief and Gosa's efforts to combat misinformation create a poignant story highlighting the complexities of loss and online speculation.
