It's being reported that season 2 contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race Sahara Davenport has died. No real details but it has been confirmed by several cast members and RuPaul. She was one of my favorite contestants on the show.

Antoine was one of my friends best friends, and I woke up today to see how devastated he was. Very very sad news to wake up to today.

This is very sad!

RIP

People are saying this is a hoax.

Manila Luzon hasn't said anything about it being false, and RuPaul has been sending out condolence messages all morning, so I don't know...

Any word on what happened?

He was in a production of La Cage I designed and was a wonderful person.

Very sad news.

It's being reported by a lot of major outlets now... though, of course, in the past that hasn't proven to be definitive.

It's official. Very sad day.

Do we know what the cause was?
I heard tell of an incident - with no name attached - and it happened about 2 hours before word broke and I just have a sinking feeling in my stomach that they are one and the same.

They just said it was very sudden and they haven't released any details yet.

[TheatreDiva90016]

How strange. I have heard nothing...

[JerseyGirl2]

The family released a statement that it was heart failure.
