MTV: 16 & Pregnant star announces shock death of her teenage son
16 and Pregnant star Whitney Purvis' son has died at the age of 16. Weston Gosa Jr. died on Monday before his heartbroken mum posted an emotional tribute announcing the news on social media. The devastated mum, 33, said on Facebook: 'This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston has passed away.' Whitney appeared on the MTV show 16 and Pregnant in 2009. She added in her post: 'Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don't understand. 'Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself.' She added: 'He was so perfect.' Whitney did not reveal his cause of death. The grieving mum said that she was in disbelief and could not believe that this was happening. She said: 'I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. 'You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you. 'Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon.' Weston's stepmum Amy Gosa provided some more information of the teenager's tragic passing. She explained that the teen was found at 7am unresponsive, and that she was unable to wake him up. Amy said on Facebook: 'He was not breathing, we attempted CPR and called an ambulance. 'The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County [Georgia] where he was pronounced dead.' She also noted that the star's child has suffered from 'several health issues', including diabetes. Weston had also been diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - which can cause lung and liver damage. But the heartbroken family are still waiting on an autopsy to determine Weston's exact cause of death. Weston was born during the first season of MTV's 16 and Pregnant, to Whitney's boyfriend at the time, Weston Lewis Gosa.

'16 and Pregnant' star Whitney Purvis reveals 16-year-old son Weston has died: 'Life is so cruel and unfair'
Whitney Purvis, who starred in a 2009 episode of MTV's 16 and Pregnant, is mourning the death of the son she welcomed on the show. "This is so hard to write," she began a Facebook post on Monday. "My beautiful son, Weston, has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just don't understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true." Purvis, who welcomed her first child with Weston Gosa Sr., was one of six pregnant teens featured in the season. Four of them — Farrah Abraham, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, and Catelynn Lowell — went on to star in the popular reality series Teen Mom. In her heartbreaking post, Purvis asked, "How do you go on in life after losing a child? I'm in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don't want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling." Then, she directed the message to her son. "I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 - June 2, 2025." An hour later, Purvis updated her profile picture to one with a young Weston. "Rest in Peace, my baby Weston," she wrote alongside it. "I love you forever, precious. I'll never understand why life has to be so cruel. You'll always be my baby."Weston's stepmom, Amy Gosa, made her own Facebook post in which she said that an autopsy would be done soon. She said Weston had struggled with health issues including diabetes, but the family was "in shock" after being unable to wake him up on Monday. An ambulance transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, she shared. "He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life," Gosa wrote. "It doesn't feel real. Please keep our family and Whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son." Purvis and Weston Gosa Sr. broke up after their son was born. They got back together and welcomed a second son, River, who was born in 2014, before splitting again, per PEOPLE. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
