This is heartbreaking.
We have been terrified of what might happen to a child in David Eason‘s custody. Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans‘ ex was allegedly abusive and DEFINITELY violent. But it turns out we’ve been scared for the wrong child. His baby momma’s daughter has now passed away, and it had absolutely nothing to do with him. They aren’t even related.
David shares 10-year-old son Kaden with ex-girlfriend Olivia Leedham. She won sole custody of the boy in 2019. But a couple years after Kaden she had daughter Lailah Del-Rae Price with someone else. And we’ve just learned the 7-year-old has tragically passed away. According to the hairstylist’s friend via a GoFundMe page, Lailah died in the hospital on Saturday after suffering a seizure. And the incredibly sad thing is she had been in and out of the hospital recently — and no one was able to do anything!

Olivia’s friend Alice Guy explained in the fundraiser:
“She was in the emergency room several times without a diagnosis, and while in the hospital Friday night, she had a seizure and passed away early Saturday morning, June 7th.”
Gosh, that’s so devastating. She was so young… If only doctors could’ve figured out what was going on sooner… It remains unclear what mysterious health issues Lailah was suffering from before her death.
What a terribly difficult loss for Kaden…
Alice went on to mourn her friend’s daughter:
“Lailah was a bright light in their family and loved life and Jesus very much. Olivia takes pride in supporting her children and providing for them as a barber, but in light of this terrible tragedy, we are trying to raise money to help her over the next few months covering living expenses, etc. as she tries to heal after this tragic loss. Please keep this family in your prayers as they need them moving forward.”
So far, more than $14,000 has been raised for Olivia and her family. You can donate HERE.
The 31-year-old realtor is from North Carolina, but she was most recently living in Naples, Florida, with her kids. According to an obituary published by Port City Daily, Lailah will be remembered during a funeral service on Saturday in North Carolina. The obit read:
“Lailah’s light touched everyone. Her kindness, encouragement, and joyful heart were gifts she freely gave. She reminded us all what it means to love, to cherish, and to be present with one another.”
It continued:
“Lailah Del-Rae Price was, and always will be, an angel among us. Though her time here was far too short, the beauty of her soul will live on forever–in the wind that dances, in the songs we sing, and in the quiet moments when we feel her love surrounding us. She is not gone. She is here. Always.”
Sounds like she was a super sweet girl…
We’re sending this family so much love right now. What an absolutely unimaginable loss…
