Family and friends of Josie Harris were left stunned when news broke that the beloved mother had passed away. The circumstances around her death were ominous, as it was reported that Josie Harris was found by one of her children sitting in her car in her driveway. There were plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding how and why the mother of Floyd Mayweather‘s children lost her life, and on Friday (June 12), The Blast reports that her cause of death has been revealed.

According to the outlet, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner-Coroner stated that an autopsy found that Josie Harris died of “MIXED DRUG TOXICITY (FENTANYL, ALPRAZOLAM).” The mother of three’s death has been reportedly ruled as accidental as there were no signs that she intended to take her own life. Alprazolam is an anti-anxiety medication that is also known as Xanax.

Following her death, Floyd Mayweather took to his social media pages to pay tribute to his ex. He shared a series of heart-warming photos from their past together, calling Josie Harris his “baby” and “sunshine.” His social media dedication to Josie was criticized due to the reports that she and Floyd were headed to court later this year. Josie Harris reportedly filed a $20 million lawsuit against Floyd because she claimed that he lied about her during an interview with Katie Couric years ago.

This is a rough patch for Floyd Mayweather. Within weeks, the boxer not only lost the mother to three of his children, Josie Harris, but his uncle, Roger Mayweather, also passed away. Since that time, Floyd has been relatively silent as he grieves, aside from sharing loving memories on his social media pages of these two people that were significant figures in his life.

Earlier this week, Floyd shared a video to his Instagram page where he addresses the public in a somber clip. The famed boxer began his video by saying that he just wanted to take a moment to speak to the world about what he's been going through in his personal life. "I've been dealing with a lot," he said. "As far as dealing with the loss of the mother of my children, she was a significant other, a great woman, a great person. And dealing with a trainer, an uncle, a father figure, Roger Mayweather. So I've been dealing with a lot."

"I'm affected by this. It hurts to see what the world is going through," Floyd continued. "But I want us to stick together and keep believing." Floyd Mayweather admitted that he isn't a perfect person and makes mistakes regularly, but he's constantly working on becoming a better man. Unlike others, Floyd said that he will continue to help those in need without announcing it to the public. "As long as God [knows] that I'm doing a good deed, that' what's important to me." Watch Floyd Mayweather speak candidly below.

Floyd Mayweather‘s 17-year-old daughter, Jirah, made a TikTok video of her family to pay tribute to her late mother (and Floyd’s ex), Josie Harris, but some speculate that she was also revealing the truth about her relationship with her father and siblings. Josie, the mother of three of Floyd’s kids including Jirah, was found unresponsive in her car last month, and later pronounced dead. Her passing was difficult for their whole family, but it looks like Jirah has found a creative way to honour the memory of her mom.

The teen made a video on TikTok set to a cover of Orianthi’s, “According To You,” by Elise Lieberth, that seems to explore her entire family dynamic. During the chorus of the song, Jirah included photos of herself and Josie, while the singer belts out, “But according to him/I’m beautiful, incredible/He can’t get me out of his head.” Based on the lyrics, Jirah is indicating that her mother loved her just the way she was.

However, the video begins with a photo of her and Floyd with the caption “dad” and a present-day Jirah pointing to her father, as Elise sings, “according to you/I’m stupid, I’m useless/I can’t do anything right.” The photo then switches to a shot of Jirah and her siblings, Iyanna, Zion, and Koraun, with the lyrics, “according to you/I’m difficult, hard to please/Forever changing my mind” playing. This cryptic message has many of Jirah’s followers speculating that her relationship with her father and siblings is less than perfect, and that her mother was her only true supporter. While it’s possible that she didn’t intend for the video to be received that way, it’s difficult to ignore the particular lyrics that she chose to associate with these members of her family. Regardless, Jirah clearly loves and misses her mother, and Josie’s part of the video is too heartwarming. May she rest in peace.

Floyd Mayweather has been mourning the tragic passing of his ex-girlfriend and mother of his children, Josie Harris. Harris was found dead in her car recently and many are wondering what exactly happened. The boxer has taken to his Instagram where he shared photos of his time with Harris. Meanwhile, it appears as though the boxer will be canceling the fights he had planned this year especially since he is also mourning his uncle.

Mayweather’s relationship with Harris was quite complicated and there were various domestic violence incidents. In fact, Mayweather spent time in jail for attacking Harris. According to The Sun, Harris was working on a tell-all book that documented some of Mayweather’s attacks. Below, you can find a snippet from the book.

Per The Sun:

“Before I could say anything Floyd again tightened his grip on my hair and beat the back of my head…”

“He was determined to teach me a lesson. I could see it in his eyes. But, I knew I couldn’t lay down, so I fought back.”

Josie describes how she tried to fight back – but stood no chance against the strength of the legendary boxer – and screamed for help as he continued to punch her.

“I knew the power that Floyd Mayweather had in those hands and I was afraid now,” she wrote.

“‘Motha f*ckin’ b***h, I want you outta’ my house…! Givin’ my money to C.J..’ he spat out in disgust.

Mayweather has yet to comment on the excerpt so stay tuned as we will be sure to bring you the latest.

It’s been an emotionally taxing season for Floyd Mayweather. Not only was Josie Harris—his ex-girlfriend and mother of three of his children—found dead in Santa Clarita, California last week, days later he lost his trainer and uncle, Roger Mayweather. The champion boxer is grieving the loss of two close loved ones during this time when people are told to stay indoors and remain isolated due to a worldwide pandemic.

According to TMZ, Floyd Mayweather had big plans for 2020. The coronavirus quarantine has caused the world to pause as the World Health Organization comes up with the best way to handle this unprecedented situation, but even if coronavirus hadn’t caused the cancelation of sports events, Mayweather reportedly would have called them off, anyway.

It’s reported that Mayweather had two fights lined up this year: “One event involving the UFC and another fight against an established, respected boxer.” These rapid sudden losses, including that of Floyd Mayweather’s good friend Kobe Bryant, have reportedly put boxing on the backburner. TMZ adds that these postponements will be temporary and fans will just have to see how Floyd fares in the months to come. Additionally, we’re all awaiting the outcome of this COVID-19 clampdown as the United States government recently shared the fall out of coronavirus could last for up to 18 months.

The news about Floyd Mayweather‘s ex Josie Harris was a shock to all, especially their three children. On Monday, March 9, police responded to a call in Santa Clarita’s Valencia, California and found Josie reportedly inside of her car in the driveway. She was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders after they performed CPR. 

There was nothing at the scene that hinted at a cause of death, and unsurprisingly, an investigation was launched. No drugs or drug paraphernalia were found at the scene and TMZ now reports that there is no evidence of suicide, either. 

Floyd Mayweather and Josie Harris share three children together: 20-year-old Koraun, 18-year-old Zion, and 15-year-old daughter Jirah. It’s been reported that one of their kids found the Josie in her vehicle that somber day. Three days after it was announced that Josie Harris had passed away, Floyd paid tribute to her by posting photos of their life together.

He included captions like, “My Love, “My Sweetheart,” “My Friend,” “My Flowers,” “My Sunshine,” “My Family,” and “My Rock.” Investigators will have to wait for a medical examiner’s report, but her case has not been treated as a homicide.

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather was hit with shocking news three days ago when he learned that his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris had passed away. The former couple share three children together—20-year-old Koraun, 18-year-old Zion, 18, and 15-year-old daughter Jirah—and on Friday (March 13), Floyd took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late mother of his kids.

At the time of this publication, Floyd posted nearly one dozen photos of Josie with captions like, “My Love, “My Sweetheart,” “My Friend,” “My Flowers,” “My Sunshine,” “My Family,” and “My Rock.” Days ago, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station in Southern California received a call about an unresponsive woman who was in her car in the driveway of her home. Josie was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene, but her cause of death is still unclear. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s homicide unit is reportedly handling the remainder of the investigation.

Despite their past troubles, Floyd and Josie had come together for the best of their children. However, The Blast reports that they were still entangled in a $20 million legal battle. We continue to send our condolences to Josie Harris’s loved ones. Check out Floyd’s tributes below.

Floyd Mayweather‘s baby mother, Melissie Brim, remembered his ex and mother of his other three children, Josie Harris, in a touching tribute post on Wednesday, following Josie’s tragic death on Monday night. Melissia, the mother of Floyd’s daughter, Iyana “YaYa” Mayweather, had nothing but kind words for Josie, commending her for how well she raised her kids and for always treating YaYa like her own daughter.

“This one hurt,” Melissia wrote along with a broken heart emoji on a throwback photo of Josie and Floyd posing with YaYa and their three kids, Koraun, Zion, and Jirah. “I’m typing this with tears in my eyes,” she continued. “Josie I want you to know you’ve done such a great job with the kids. You’ve always loved YaYa like she was one of your own. I’ll never forget the last message you sent YaYa about us coming to visit you. You have my word to always be there for the kids if they need ANYTHING. My heart hurts for the kids right now, but I know you will watch over & protect them. May God bless your soul RIP #josielharris.”

News broke early Wednesday morning that Josie had passed away on Monday night, after authorities found unresponsive in her car and pronounced her dead at the scene. Her death is currently under investigation, although law enforcement officials do not suspect that any foul play was involved. Floyd has yet to comment on the death of his ex, with whom he had a tumultuous relationship over the years. Back in 2010, Floyd was convicted of domestic abuse and spent a few months in jail due to a violent altercation that occurred between the couple. He later told Katie Couric in an interview that Josie was high during the incident, and that he was attempting to restrain her. Josie filed a $20 million lawsuit against Floyd in 2015 for defamation, and the two were preparing to go to trial later this year to battle it out in court.

Josie Harris, Floyd Mayweather‘s ex-girlfriend and mother of three of his children, passed away on Monday night, according to TMZ. Harris was living in Valencia, California at the time and around 9:30 PM on Monday night, a call was placed to authorities. When they arrived at Harris’ house, they found her in her car where she was unresponsive. As of right now, police are investigating her death but not as a homicide. Based on the evidence so far, they have no reason to believe any foul play was involved.

Mayweather and Harris had a topsy turvy relationship that played out in the public eye. Back in 2010, Mayweather was convicted of domestic abuse and even had to go to jail for a couple of months. Harris accused of Mayweather of six separate domestic violence instances although the boxer was only convicted for one of them.

A few years ago, Mayweather did an interview in which he spoke about Harris’ claims, saying “Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs? Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then, you know what? I’m guilty. I’m guilty of restraining someone.”

Mayweather has yet to comment on Harris’ death. Stay tuned for updates on this case as we will be sure to bring them to you.
