*Lyric McHenry, who appeared on E!’s “EJNYC,” died Tuesday morning of a suspected drug overdose at age 26. Her mother, upon hearing the news, was reportedly rushed to the hospital after becoming “hysterical.”

McHenry’s body was discovered at 5 a.m. on a sidewalk above the Major Deegan Expressway at Undercliff Avenue and Boscobel Place in Highbridge in the Bronx, New York, according to the New York Daily News. She was wearing a pajama top and underwear, but no pants, the Daily Mail reports. According to the Daily News, a small Ziplock bag of cocaine was found on McHenry, and police suspect she died of an overdose.

After being found, she was taken to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital where she reportedly died. McHenry was reportedly 20 weeks pregnant.

The NYPD released a statement on the death saying “there were no obvious signs of trauma observed. EMS responded to the location and transported the aided female to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where she was pronounced deceased. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing.”

At McHenry’s California home, Radar Online was told of her mother Jennifer’s reaction to the death from family friend, Pat. “We had to send her mother to the hospital to calm her down,” Pat said, adding she was “trying to keep everyone together,” as the family dealt with the tragic news.

McHenry’s family was planning to “take shifts and sit with her so she’s not alone for a couple of hours,” at the hospital, the source revealed.

Her reported death comes hours after she celebrated her birthday during a night out with friends. In videos on her Instagram Story, McHenry was at The Frederick Hotel, the Soho Grand Hotel and the Dream Hotel, and filmed a smiling video of herself in a bathroom wearing a pink dress.

She also shared video of herself sitting at an outside venue beside a male friend, who was documented saying “it’s her birthday” as she blew a kiss to the camera with the N.Y.C. skyline behind them.

“EJNYC” premiered on E! in 2016 and ran for one season, starring Magic Johnson’s son, EJ Johnson. He also sent birthday wishes to Lyric earlier this month.
