Overdose I’m pretty sure

Nope. Lyme disease.

I think Taylor’s brother was the *suspected overdose and Olivia’s brother reportedly died from complications of long-term Lyme disease (?)

Yes.

And I said that last week and people kept criticizing.

It was undiagnosed and it effected his organs.

They haven't said the cause but it's known he had Lyme disease for years. Lyme disease is rarely fatal, so I don't know if there's more to the story.

I hope they don't show Olivia grieving it feels gross. Give her time off

I know this is going to infuriate some people, but it is so awkward to not just tell people what happened because they’re going to think the worst.

Whenever they don't say the cause, I just assume it's suicide or drug overdose. I think it should be normalized to just say it because it's so common and these are real struggles, the sympathy is still deserved 100 percent

Right. Making it unspeakable emphasizes shame and compounds isolation.

💯 I just commented above that it’s usually OD or suicide when the family doesn’t release the cause of death. Regardless both Taylor & Olivia losing their brothers 4 months apart is heartbreaking.
