Model Sahara Ray set to be cremated following shocking death at age 34
Cremation and medical details
Ray’s death certificate lists November 10 as the date of her cremation. It names the Los Angeles residence of her mother, Gretchen Gia Bach, as the location of final disposition.
The document confirms Ray died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. An autopsy was completed, but authorities have not announced an official cause of death; TMZ reported that the county medical examiner’s office is awaiting toxicology results.
Reports about her final days
News reports last month described Ray’s death as following a suspected fentanyl overdose. The Daily Mail reported that she had been placed on life support and that her family decided that day to withdraw it.
The suspected overdose has not been confirmed as the official cause of death. Toxicology results remain outstanding, according to TMZ’s account of the medical examiner’s work.
Friends recall support and love
Actress Jessica Serfaty, a close friend, told Page Six that Ray had faced mental health challenges before her death. Serfaty said she and Bach had joined others in trying to support her, but there was no easy answer. Mod Sun, who was romantically linked to Ray in 2023, remembered her on Instagram as “pure magic” and “a true love of mine.” Ray had also previously dated Justin Bieber.
