Teen Mom 2 star found 'murdered' in hotel room as police hunt two men

A former star of Teen Mom 2 has been found dead at the age of 29 in a shocking suspected homicide incident.

Taylor Lewis - who first appeared on the MTV reality TV show in 2014 - was found dead on 5 January at an Eden hotel.

Her official cause of death is 'still unknown', yet it is believed that police are investigating a 'potential homicide'.

Taylor's devastated sister, Haylee Lewis, discussed the former TV star's tragic death as she suggested that Taylor's death was suspicious.

Speaking to In Touch, she explained: "I’ve been speaking with detectives too, and they are saying they saw footage of two men with Taylor in the hotel room."

Haylee confirmed that her sister Taylor was found dead by a housekeeper 'hours later'.

Taylor appeared on the show several times as MTV alum Jenelle Evans' friend.

Jenelle, who is arguably one of the biggest stars of Teen Mom, took to social media on Monday to mourn the loss of her friend.

"Taylor what happened?!" Jenelle wrote on Facebook.

Alongside a collection of throwback photos of the pair from their youth, she continued: "We were once best friends, and we went our separate ways because of the different crowds we chose to hang out with.

"I wanted to see you eventually flourish as a woman from a distance but was always rooting for you."

"I don’t know what happened but I am very saddened to hear this news and hope you’re resting easy."

In another post, Jenelle advised her followers to always check up on their friends.

"If your friends message you, just respond back. See how they are doing. Check up on them," she wrote.

Janelle and Taylor both welcomed children from the same man, Courtland Rogers.

Taylor appeared on the MTV series when Jenelle confided in her about her own pregnancy with Courtland in January of 2014.

At the time, Janelle told her friend: "I did relapse on heroin one time and that was when I met Courtland.

"Me and him, we got married only after three months of dating. I’m so mad at myself for marrying someone that I didn’t think through."

Taylor is survived by her daughter Jordan Ashlee Nikole Lewis, and ex-partner and Courtland.
