“While this unbelievable news is shocking because she was only 46, I can assure you that I have verified this truth,” Slaught added in the fundraiser description.
“Unfortunately, Ariane, and the rest of us, were not prepared for this sudden turn of events,” he continued.
Slaught stated that any donations exceeding the funeral expenses would be directed to charities in honor of Bellamar’s memory.
“If we can accomplish our goals above, then any remaining funds will be either donated to a charity in Ariane’s memory or to create a charity to help women, mothers and children, and young women in need,” Slaught added.
As of this writing, the GoFundMe page has successfully raised a little over $1,000.
Nevada’s Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner confirmed to TMZ that they had received a death report for Bellamar. However, they were unable to share additional details at this time.
