Autumn died on Saturday, July 20.
In a statement to People, the Henrico County Police Department noted that officers were called to a residence in Sandston, Virginia, for a medical emergency that involved an unresponsive adult woman. Though they "attempted life-saving measures," ultimately, those efforts were not effective.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The adult female, Autumn Oxley, 27, of Henrico, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Henrico Police are currently classifying this incident as a death investigation," the statement continued. "Detectives are working with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on this case to determine the exact cause and manner of death."
Authorities are asking for the public's help.
As they continue trying to get down to the bottom of Autumn's death, People has reported that authorities are asking that anyone with information to contact "Henrico Police at 804-501-5000 or anonymously report information to Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or by going to P3tips.com."

Autumn was a mom of three.
Though 16 & Pregnant viewers saw Autumn's pregnancy and birth with her oldest child, Drake, whom she shared with Dustin Franklin, when her episode aired in 2014, she's welcomed two more children since then. Because she's stayed pretty private online, it's hard to say what else she may have been up to in more recent years.
Her sister was the first to share the news.
According to The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Autumn's sister, Misty, shared a post about finding out that her sister had died.
"I seen the shirt you were wearing and I held it so tight, I smelled it for so long as I just stood there empty, broken, finally allowing myself a moment to fall apart while I knew the kids were okay and I was alone. I’ll hold that shirt close to my heart forever," she wrote. "We are gonna make sure these babies are okay. Your memory will not fade over time. It will live on every moment of every day."
