16 and Pregnant’s Whitney Purvis Says Son’s Death Was Preventable

16
and
Pregnant’s
Whitney
Purvis
Says
Ex
Prevented
Her
From
Attending
Son
Weston’s
Funeral



Whitney
Purvis


is
reflecting
on
the
death
of
her
son


Weston
Gosa
Jr.


Over
two
weeks
after
she
announced
the



tragic
passing
of
the
16-year-old
,
the




16
and
Pregnant


alum
shared
that
she
believed
the
death
of
her
son—whom
she
said
had
several
health
issues—”could’ve
been
prevented”
if
her
ex


Weston
Gosa


had
gotten
him
health
insurance.


“My
son
had
diabetes,
Addison’s
disease,
and
alpha
one
anti-trypsin
deficiency,
and
he
had
no
medical
insurance,”
Purvis
wrote
in
a
June
18



Facebook


post,
“but
he
had
a
life
insurance
policy
taken
out
on
him.
His
dad
bought
five
cars
in
the
last
six
months
but
couldn’t
pay
for
medical
insurance.”


She
added,
“He
brags
about
how
much
money
he
has
and
has
the
nerve
to
make
a
GoFundMe
to
help
bury
him
when
he
was
just
going
to
cremate
him
anyway
because
it
was
the
cheapest,
plus
he
had
the
life
insurance
policy.”


The



MTV


star
also
said
that
Weston—whose
cause
of
death
has
not
been
determined—should
have
had
medical
coverage
due
to
her
custody
agreement
with
Gosa,
with
whom
she
also
shares
11-year-old
son
