2nd Update: I have been in contact with a close friend of Brandy. According to her, she was find, ate a lot over thanksgiving and seemed totally healthy. Apparently it was a sudden death that happened out of nowhere.

"A great friend, amazing warrior, and loving mom, Brandy Vaughan of Learn The Risk has passed. Please send your prayers for her 9 year old son, her dogs, her cats… Her son was her world. Her son is in safe hands currently. We don't have many answers yet — please try to avoid engaging in rumors out of respect to her and her son. Thanks to all who have been reaching out to offer condolences, and asking for ways you can help. We are so deeply saddened by this news." –  Tina Maria, close friend, via GoGetFunding Campaign to find out what happened. This was one of Vaughan's requests if she were to be found deceased, more on that later in the article.
