Inside Justin Bieber's Ex Sahara Ray's Tragic Final Days Before Her Death at 34 — as Family Reveals Agonizing Decision to Turn Off Life Support

Australian model and swimwear designer Sahara Ray died at 34 on Oct. 18, just months after welcoming her first child, daughter Snow.

Her family confirmed she died at a Los Angeles-area hospital surrounded by loved ones, but her official cause of death has not been made public.

Reports have since detailed the circumstances surrounding Ray's final days. According to multiple reports, Ray was hospitalized Friday, Oct. 16, following a suspected fentanyl overdose and placed on life support.

Her family reportedly decided to withdraw the support on Sunday, Oct. 18. The reported overdose has not been independently confirmed by authorities, and it remains unclear whether it was accidental or intentional.

The reported overdose has added a new and unconfirmed detail to the circumstances of Ray's death. While several outlets have cited the fentanyl report, her family has not publicly announced a cause of death.

Her family previously confirmed only that she died in the hospital surrounded by loved ones, telling TMZ, “She passed away last night surrounded by family at the hospital. She was so loved.”

Ray's mother, Gretchen Bach, later remembered her daughter as “an incredibly passionate and kind young woman” who loved her family, fashion, Snow and surfing.

Ray became a mother earlier this year, giving birth to Snow on Jan. 27, 2026. She introduced her daughter to followers in April and continued sharing glimpses of motherhood online.

Her final Instagram grid post, shared in July, featured photos of Snow with the caption, “My whole heart baby Snow.” The post has since taken on added significance following Ray's death.

Ray's younger sister, Ruby Ray, also paid tribute following her death, remembering her as a vibrant and loving person and expressing her difficulty accepting the loss.

Ray had previously spoken publicly about her struggles. In December 2021, she revealed that she had entered a 30-day treatment program in Malibu for drug and alcohol abuse.

In April 2024, Ray was hit by a vehicle driven by what she described as a drunk driver.

She later said she developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affected her ability to walk and left her relying on a wheelchair and walker during her recovery.

Ray later documented signs of improvement and returned to modeling work.
