In April, Playmate Ashley Mattingly sadly passed away at the young age of thirty-three.
For the last few months, much confusion and speculation have surrounded her sudden passing but, now, her official cause of death has been confirmed.
Ashley Mattingly was taken too soon.
Ashley was perhaps best known for her work with Playboy.
And, as well as being a Playmate, Ashley modeled for a number of different brands...
The model had been famously battling with alcohol and substance abuse.
Sadly, she was also a victim of domestic abuse.
But, in more recent years, she had been working hard at getting her life back on track.
Ashley was part of a shelter-in-place order during the ongoing medical pandemic...
But, evidently, her efforts were to no avail.
The police attended her home...
Hundreds of tributes immediately flooded in for the model...
